I think part of the reason for the oldish Eclipse is the fact that it runs on GCJ, not the SUN JVM by default.
So the developers have some hard time getting everything to work in that respect. However, since now Java is open-source, Ubuntu could be able to inlclude the SUN jvm by default, which would lead to more updated Java packages. K.
