Comment 51 for bug 1379431

I am running KALI
PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux 1.0"
NAME="Kali GNU/Linux"

I would like to add a resolve that by adding the line:

 --launcher.GTK_version
2

in the eclipse.ini form starting on the third line:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar
--launcher.GTK_version
2
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20140603-1326
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.standard.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_20/jre/bin/java
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

allows eclipse to function nominally. Also notice I running jdk1.8.0_20 as well.
Thank you for your efforts and research.
