We won't ship Elicpse 3.8 in Buster. The libequinox-osgi-java issue is only one of the most obvious bugs in Eclipse and could be easily fixed but the illegal reflection errors are all caused by Java 10. This version is simply not ready for everything that is newer than OpenJDK 8. The plan is to salvage the eclipse-platform package somehow which is a build-dependency for some important packages but maintaining Eclipse and its plugins requires more regular help from people who are interested in keeping it in a good shape. At the moment those volunteers don't exist. See also https://bugs.debian.org/681726 Markus
