This is regardless of
- the Java version (tried openjava 7 and oracle java 7)
- the eclipse version (tried the ubuntu delivered 3.8 and 4.4 download from eclipse.org)

Solution: simply add the env var
export SWT_GTK3=1
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Package: eclipse
Architecture: all
Version: 3.8.1-5.1
Especially when clicking buttons Eclipse crashes.
