My work box is running the fairly old Hardy Heron (as that's what the product is based on) albeit with a fair amount of PPA's for newer tools (like Emacs ;-). We are also stuck with OpenJDK as that is the safest from a distribution point of view. The breakages I'm seeing are probably a combination of old base OS and early OpenJDK.

The only issue I run into was caused by GNU JVM which was installed on the system by default. It causes a lot of crashes. To fix that, I just downloaded Sun JVM and put it under /your/path/to/eclipse/jre. Hope that will help. That strange, binary distribution of the Eclipse worked fine on my Ubuntu box when I did Java.

Even then I couldn't actually get OpenNMS to build in it <b>for some unknown reason</b> probably because some of the plugins were not installed properly. I agree the distros seem to have issues with packaging Java apps, most likely because Java hasn't been "free" for that long. Sadly the last thing I tried was the binary package.
