Debian's alternatives system exists for a reason, and should not be
circumvented by packages choosing their own Java VM. Unless there's a
compelling reason to keep /etc/eclipse/java_home around, Eclipse should
default to using whichever Java is specified in /etc/alternatives.
For those who may wish to run Eclipse under alternate VMs (and who
already do so), Eclipse could use a configuration option, flag, or
environment variable to choose a different Java VM.
