Is that a sensible thing to do, or is there some better way to proceed? It does mean that all the other updates are not performed, and that list is getting quite long now.)

Wait for a new version of eclipse, or use pactree to figure out which
package to remove:
$  pactree -r xulrunner
$  pactree -r eclipse
Or you can ignore (-syu --ignore ...) the eclipse upgrade, but I
believe that will leave it broken, which suggests you might as well
remove it anyway.
Or you can compile eclipse yourself, against the current xulrunner -
this is probably difficult, and might be a waste of time anyway.
