Hi

I am thinking a Recommends is better here because it is possible to use
eclipse without a java compiler (especially if you are not using eclipse
for java).
  This would also make sense for eclipse-jdt, since some (language)
plugins depends on eclipse-pde and -pde depends on -jdt. But with a
Recommends, you will get the compiler by default (unless you explicitly
request apt-get not to get it).
