This seems like a problem with the integrated WM not doing what is 
expected, Java programs do seem to be problematic in this regard.  So, 
you can probably work around this by running the Cygwin X server in 
windowed, rather than multiwindow mode.

I tried to reproduce this, but eclipse worked ok for me.

Can you tell me the versions of Xwin, debian and eclipse you are using?
