Hello Alan,
what version of Eclipse do you use ?
The version currently in sid seems to be still of 2.x generation. Is it
that ? Then uninstall it as quickly as possible and never touch it
again ... ;-)
... and go pick one fresh one on eclipse.org, for instance this
http://eclipse.objectweb.org/downloads/drops/R-3.0.2-200503110845/eclipse-SDK-3.0.2-linux-gtk.zip
unzip it in your *local* *personnal* folder (just forget about a
system-wide installation until you are so familiar with
eclipse/debian/everything else that you can do it eyes closed)
hop ! you have an instantly-working eclipse 3.
then, check that it does not come with its own jvm/jre (in subfolders),
and if so delete it so as to allow eclipse to really benefit from your
freshly-installed 1.5 jsdk.
then, plugin installation will be a piece of cake, too
have a good trip in eclipse-land :)
