Although there are now a good many free JVMs in Debian Main now, I have
been utterly unsuccessful at getting Eclipse to be happy with any of
them. They are valid enough for taking raw .java files and producing
some sort of code with them, but they aren't drop-in replacements.
IMO you have to bite the bullet and install the non-free Blackdown Java
if you care at all about Eclipse or doing Java-ish things in Apache,
unless you want to live in utter hackdom and have at best a poorly
performing Kludge.
It's really scandalous. One Day there will be a free JVM and all will
rejoice, but that day is not today.
