I never install Eclipse from the repositories, because it's always a 
significantly older version. I simply download it from eclipse.org 
directly and install it in my /opt folder.

Updating eclipse is a lot of work because a lot of Java packages need
to be updated in coordination with each other.

See https://bugs.debian.org/681726 where help is requested.
