I had a quick look at sdo-api-java and I noticed that it has an empty manifest. Usually eclipse projects requires OSGi-metadata in the manifests or else they will not touch the libraries. EclipseLink may use a "Bundle-Classpath" (or so) in their manifest, which means they embed the entire jar file into their jar. This allows them to use the jar even if it does not have OSGi-metadata, but it is suboptimal for Debian. In this case we should patch EclipseLink to use it as an external jar (I can help you with that when the time comes).
