I'll be dropping that Blackdown-based java package soon. I was also experiencing crashes with eclipse which were solved by using Sun's latest 1.4.2-02 j2sdk. This time I used Hubert Schmid's excelent mpkg-j2sdk to make a Debian packaged from Sun's j2sdk-1_4_2_02-linux-i586.bin download, and I adivse people to do the same.
