I heard the whole problem is that Eclipse 4.x requires Oracle Java 7. Ubuntu (and especially Debian) don't like Oracle, they are packaged with OpenJDK. I don't know the functional difference, I thought the whole idea was that they were compatible. Anyway, Oracle Java 7 is not in the default repos.

Also I read there were licensing issues with certain parts of Eclipse 4? Not sure. Just repeating what I think I know. :P
