I-Beam cursor in text editor is hardly visible when switching to dark background.
It seems to be system wide bug (concerning Cocoa I guess), because it's same thing with TextEdit.app, however there is a possibility of workaround by using custom cursor, as can be seen in TextMate.

Reproducible: Always

Silenio, haven't we determine already that this is OS limitation ?

I suppose the application can work around this problem on top of SWT using Caret#setImage().

You can choose to use/not use a custom caret in the accessibility preferences. Maybe that helps?
