I think use mpkg-j2sdk to build deb and install it is better.

Thanks, I don't know it. I will add path at /usr/local, then local
plugin should be installed /usr/local/eclipse/plugins.

I think it's difficult because when sevral users do it, then links
directory have configurations for each users. So one configuration
effect others.
