Bug#353360: eclipse: Should respect Java in /etc/alternatives

[Stephen Touset]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.1.2-1

Debian's alternatives system exists for a reason, and should not be 
circumvented by packages choosing their own Java VM. Unless there's a 
compelling reason to keep /etc/eclipse/java_home around, Eclipse should 
default to using whichever Java is specified in /etc/alternatives.

For those who may wish to run Eclipse under alternate VMs (and who 
already do so), Eclipse could use a configuration option, flag, or 
environment variable to choose a different Java VM.
