Oracle Java is so similar to OpenJDK that it's doubtful there would be any serious hurdles. Besides, Eclipse4.3 is tested on OpenJDK 7 ( see http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_4.3.html#TargetOperatingEnvironments ), so it shouldn't be an issue.

The real problem is that Eclipse has a ridiculously complicated build and deployment system that is painful to adapt to Ubuntu, and while there are some provisions for shared-user deployments with a Unixy filesystem layout, in reality upstream never tests them and they don't work very well.
