I migrated from Eclipse Indigo (3.7) to Juno (4.2). In Juno all toolbars seem to be permanently locked. Is there a way to unlock them so they could be moved or rearranged?

Try Windows- Preferences - Appearance

See the print:

enter image description here

Then type Theme in the Search box (or go General->Appeearance->Theme) and choose Window 7. restart and you'll be able to move the icons/groups in the toolbar (but not get rid of any)

After you're done you'll be asked to restart/ I went to Classsic theme and THEN restarted.

Hope it helps
