I've managed to do it, to answer my own question, it was easier than I
thought.
I just installed JDK1.5 and then downloaded
eclipse_sdk_3.1_linux_gtk_x86_64.tar.gz and then unpacked these files to
/usr/share/eclipse
I did not need to tell eclipse which jdk to use. I thought that some
configuration would be needed but obviously not.
