Bug Description
Binary package hint: eclipse
It seems wrong to me that I can run:
apt-get install eclipse
And I will end up with a "broken" Eclipse, namely one that can't compile anything, because only a JRE was installed, not JDK (so javac is missing).

Hi
I am thinking a Recommends is better here because it is possible to use
eclipse without a java compiler (especially if you are not using eclipse
for java).
This would also make sense for eclipse-jdt, since some (language)
plugins depends on eclipse-pde and -pde depends on -jdt. But with a
Recommends, you will get the compiler by default (unless you explicitly
request apt-get not to get it).
