I'm not averse to there being an "Eclipse" theme, but experience has

significant testing overhead, since including a theme that wasn't known
to work on the "variants that aren't shipping GTK3 default themes" would
effectively defeat the purpose.
At this point, I don't see it happening, but if someone in the community
wants to try, more power to them. Personally, I think we'd be better off
convincing the distros themselves to move forward.

+1. Andrey Loskutov and Simeon Andreev are already doing something
similar, they don't like the aesthetics of the default GTK theme so they
basically maintain their own theme. Well they didn't write a theme from
scratch, but they have adopted the Clearlooks-Phenix theme and patch it
to work with SWT. It is for this reason that we have the environment
variable which allows clients to inject their own GTK theme CSS into SWT
at run-time.
