Does anyone know how to normalize the appearance of the editing cursor under
Eclipse "M"? I don't like the bracketed cursor effect at all.

Thanks,

You've read this:

The Java editor now has three typing modes: Overwrite, Insert, and Smart
Insert. Overwrite and Insert modes are generic, whereas in Smart Insert mode
the editor provides Java-specific extras which can be configured on the Java
> Editor > Typing preference page. The different typing mode have
distinctive carets (not yet supported on all OSs). Pressing the Insert key
(or double clicking on the typing mode in the status line) cycles through
the available modes.

I wonder if you are talking about Eclipse 3.0 M1.

If so, this was extracted from the New and Noteworthy doc for that
milestone release:
