at least for karmic, /usr/lib/java/swt.jar is provided by the swt-gtk 3.4 sources.

Would a simple conflict & replaces on libswt3.4-gtk-java resolve this issue?

no, not at this point. the packages are in main, not removable before release.
Maybe just ship the versioned jar for karmic.

$ apt-cache showsrc libswt-gtk-3.4-java
Package: swt-gtk
Binary: libswt-gtk-3.4-java, libswt-gtk-3.4-jni, libswt-gnome-gtk-3.4-jni,
libswt-mozilla-gtk-3.4-jni, libswt-cairo-gtk-3.4-jni, libswt-glx-gtk-3.4-jni,
libswt-gtk-3.4-java-gcj

Ok, found it: swt-gtk uses update-alternatives to provide /usr/lib/java/swt.jar. So eclipse should use this mechanism, too.

so we use versioned packages to make the differences between libraries visible,
and then undo this by a local configuration option which is not easy to debug?

Removing the symlink to swt.jar; if we want to keep it, then it would be better
to build a dependency package containing this symlink.

I have removed this link and uploaded eclipse 3.5.1-0ubuntu1~ppa2 to the PPA. I will release this version (with a propper changelog) to karmic, if the PPA version does not show new errors.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

not yet in karmic; please mention the report in the upload, and it will be closed automatically

This bug was fixed in the package eclipse - 3.5.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
eclipse (3.5.1-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * New snapshot from eclipse-build.
    - Apply GTK 2.18 z-order patch (LP: #443004).
  * Remove unversioned swt.jar link (LP: #446155).
  * Add wrapper script for setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH (LP: #445842).
  * Call remove with -f to fix FTBFS on powerpc.

You said "This bug was fixed in the package eclipse - 3.5.1-0ubuntu2 " but I have same problem ubuntu 9.10 and my update is the latest.Now, I can't use my eclipse anymore.
