This is an unfortunate side effect of Eclipse not working properly with the global menu bar, hense being 
blacklisted from showing its menus properly in the global menu bar, therefore the Eclipse window itself shows 
the menu bar. Unfortunately F10 is grabbed by unity for accessing the top panel exclusively. Using Alt F etc 
to access the Eclipse menus individually should work.

I am not sure what the proper solution is here, given that most apps that most users will use are fine with 
their menus in the global menu bar. Having said that, one still would want access to the indicators, but 
maybe a key other than F10 could be used for doing just that.
