I've found that the Blackdown's java runtime 1.4.1 (from which Jopa's
Debian packages are based) expose quite a few bugs with a eclipse
(crashes when installing plugins as the one you describe, and also when
running some wizards).
Using the Sun's latest 1.4.2 runtime (together with Hubert Schmid's
mpkg-j2sdk/j2se-package scripts at
<http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~ude2/debian/>) solved the problem
quite nicely for me.
IANAL, but AFAIK it's not possible to freely redistribute Sun's java
runtimes.
