According to your todo:
>Part of source files in org.eclipse.wst.sse.core should be regenerated from
>JFlex grammar files in directory DevTimeSupport, but they require JFlex 1.2.2
>for correct transformation (Debian has newer version). Migration to newer
>JFlex seems not going to happen very soon in upstream[1]
>
>There are still some binary resource files in org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core
>(part1.rsc, start1.rsc etc.), but I could not trace their origin and if and
>how they can be regenerated. Seems the same files are present in jdt parser
>and also other eclipse plugins. Should be regenerated when possible.

According to Debian Free Software Guidelines [1] (DFSG) #2:
"The program must include source code, and must allow distribution
in source code as well as compiled form.".
This could also constitute a license violation for some copyleft licenses such
as the GNU GPL.
In order to solve this problem, you could:
1. repack the origin tarball adding the missing source to it.
2 add the source files to "debian/missing-sources" directory
Both way satisfies the requirement that we ship the source. Second option
might be preferable due to the following reasons [2]:
- Upstream can do it too and you could even supply a patch to them, thus full
filling our social contract [3], see particularly ยง2.
- If source and non-source are in different locations, ftpmasters may
miss the source and (needlessly) reject the package.
- The source isn't duplicated in every .diff.gz/.debian.tar.* (though
this only really matters for larger sources).
You could also ask [email protected] or #debian-qa for more
guidance.
