I use PDT for PHP development. I am going to start learning Java. What packages should I install in PDT in order to have at least the same functionality as if I would fresh install Eclipse IDE for Java Developers?

A:
You will need to install JDT plugin with current eclipse installation.
Depending upon your eclipse version add following remote site (from help>install new software>add ) and check for Java plugins:

It is better to install the full EPP package for Java. See this post for Galileo, it's about the same for Helios: http://bewarethepenguin.blogspot.com/2009/07/screencast-creating-eclipse-download.html

If you just want to use basic Java functionality, just select Window->Open Perspective->(Others...->)Java and you are good to go. As Eclipse is written in Java, the basic functions are always included. Even the debugger should be available.
I use my Eclipse with Aptana also for Java development.
