See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=90630
Tom Tromey already mentioned the library issue that has been fixed.

Again, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=90630 . There are
many things to consider here and if you have input, it would be great if
you could comment on that bug.

We can't include newer version of PyDev because they depend upon 1.5-level
stuff that we can't build. Before someone says "use retroweaver", we have
to be able to build the code before we can munge the bytecode so if ecj +
Classpath (ecj may be 1.5-level compatible but if Classpath is missing
something) can't built it to begin with, we can't ship it.

I don't see how you come to this conclusion.
