Note that the next version of Eclipse 4.6 Mars (milestone versions already available) will only work with Java 8. Eclipse is also a platform with RCP applications built on it, like WireframeSketcher (my software). Until now I could easily create a deb package with default-jre dependency. With the next version of Eclipse it won't be possible because Java 8 is not available on Ubuntu.
