--- Comment #10 from Oded Arbel <oded at geek.co.il> ---
Last comment for the day (I apologize for the bug spam - I'm trying to research
this issue and I don't want to lose the results):

I don't think Eclipse is to blame for this problem - they just use GTK calls
directly
(https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/blob/975011388a62584b52141fff2fa5c3d16ff4ec33/bundles/org.eclipse.swt/Eclipse%20SWT/gtk/org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Text.java#L760).

Possibly the problem is that they build with an old version of GTK - supposedly
Eclipse supports GTK 4, but the latest builds from eclipse.org are using GTK
3.22.30 (which is not even current for GTK 3 - the current minor version is
3.24, which was released in 2018 and had a lot of Wayland work). It does appear
to use dynamic linking, and on Neon jammy, Eclipse seems to be running with the
system's 3.24.34 - the same library gedit uses, and gedit does have proper text
mime types on its clipboard content, which from what I can find, this is not a
gedit hack: this is the default GTK text view implementation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe hacking around QMimeData is still a viable option?
