Hmm no wonder you couldn't get the console when Eclipse is unable to load even the console support bundle.
Looking at the dependencies of org.eclipse.equinox.console, could you please check that you have installed
the latest versions of these packages available in Debian testing?

  libfelix-gogo-command-java
  libfelix-gogo-shell-java
  libservlet3.0-java
  libtomcat7-java

Eclipse is not declaring a dependency on any particular version of these packages so you might have an old,
incompatible one. Our list of required packages should be updated in this case.

Looks only as a consequence of previous error(s).
