My notes for Eclipse: Eclipse is using some piece of code for compiling. I didn't assembly it, but I think, there is in the J2SE JRE, in the standard Java library several classes they provide compiling. This means, you DON'T NEED J2SE SDK or Java 5 JDK.
I'm using this "feature" on windoze machines I have no administrative access which is needed for JDK (or SDK) installation. There is only one problem with "no SDK development" -- your custom build.xml (and other Ant or Maven scripts) will not work, because Ant (and Maven) are calling the compiler (and javadoc) which is missing.
