Thank you for the quick answer. You gave me the input to solve the problem: Eclipse depends on libxerces2-java package (which contains XercesJ v2.3.0), but this Xerces is TOO NEW for Eclipse! I've extracted the Xerces JARs (xercesImpl.jar and xmlParserAPI's.jar; no idea from which version they are...) from the RC1 tarball of the eclipse.org site and replaced the soft links in the plugins/org.apache.xerces_4.0.7 directory. Now it works!
I mean this as a hint for Takashi Okamoto, who packed the debianized Eclipse: Could you please refine this dependency or remove it completely?
