Eclipse errror log
I can trigger this bug by deleting ~/.eclipse and the entire contents of ~/workspace and trying to start eclipse pointed at ~/workspace.
If I fiddle with Eclipse and get it to start, causing a suggestion box to pop up by pressing Ctrl-Space on any Java symbol will trigger a crash within two seconds, with the same stack trace.
FWIW, I can trigger the exact same bug in eclipse-standard-kepler-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz. Since I doubt that the standard Eclipse distribution is unusable, I'm reassigning this to webkitgtk.
To reproduce: open any Java file in Eclipse and press Ctrl-Enter. Eclipse will crash after 1-2 seconds.
I was able to find Bug 990091 which seems similar to this. The problem would seem to be limited resources or maybe some kind of memory corruption.
As a workaround for now, could you try adding '-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla' to the bottom of /etc/eclipse.ini and see if that eliminates the issue.
