It was my error. I didn't have neither libswt-gtk-3.1-java nor
libswt3.1-gtk-java package installed when I reported this bug.
Why I ended up without one of them installed, I'm not sure. I tried to
have both azureus and eclipse, which is currently not possible, see:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338955
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=341407
Azureus depends on libswt-gtk-3.1-java and eclipse depends on
libswt3.1-gtk-java. I tried to force install and somehow ended up without
libswt. Reinstalling libswt3.1-gtk-java package fixed the problem. You can
close this bug.

See if there is any problem in fixing those bugs with azureus maintainer,
so that eclipse and azureus can live together.

I'm not expert in eclipse and never use it before. I thought that
eclipse-source and pde packages are required if I want to develop eclipse
or plugins and not if I only want to develop other applications *in* eclipse.
