"eclipse and xulrunner are in conflict"?

Question

I was trying to install Eclipse from extra, but I ran into the following problem:
➜ ~ sudo pacman -S eclipse
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: eclipse and xulrunner are in conflict. Remove xulrunner? [y/N] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: eclipse and xulrunner are in conflict
I have a few programs installed that depend on xulrunner, so removing it doesn't work.
Is pacman's local database corrupted or is there really a conflict here? I can't figure out how to get pacman to tell me why xulrunner and Eclipse are in conflict.

that's the most stupidest solution ever . the best solution is to report on the tracker and drop xulrunner from monodevelop dependency chain
The best solution, imho, would be to wait for the fix in "testing"... I've not reported in the tracker because someone else had already done and warned about the removal of xulrunner... without effect.
And, sorry, i'm not qualified to drop xulrunner from Monodevelop dependancy chain.
Anyway, i prefer using a old version of Eclipse AND Monodevelop than the brand new shiny version of Eclipse without Monodevelop.
