Hi,
I very much doubt that eclipse (itself) is using 900 MB of memory. From your logs (with manual re-alignment):
[ 5682.395679] [ pid ] uid tgid total_vm rss cpu oom_adj oom_score_adj name
[ 5682.383742] [ 1996] 1000 1996 245620 60334 0 0 0 eclipse
[...]
[ 5682.396532] [ 2012] 1000 1996 245620 60572 0 0 0 eclipse
The "total_vm" appears to be ~239.86 MB and not the ~959.45MB your log claims in the bottom. More likely, the kernel has determined that if it kills eclipse, the processes spawned from eclipse will be killed as well. The ~960MB are probably the "totally recovered memory" of this action.
If you are running some processes from eclipse, please check they are not using extreme amounts of memory or that you actually terminate them completely. Eclipse does not terminate interactive processes you no longer use for you - you have to do that manually and keep in mind that the eclipse process console can "hide" active processes behind dead ones. Please refer to [1] for further help with the process console.
