I was able to reproduce this bug
1. run eclipse
2 open preferencies -> Java -> installed JREs    and get the same results as 
shown in The Screenshot
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-7/+bug/1047762/+attachment/3300355/+files/eclipse-crash-jdk.png

By looking into the workspace/.metadata/.log
I found that the bug was caused by:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class 
com.ibm.icu.text.SimpleDateFormat

This is a variant of an old Debian/Ubuntu bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600288

I am able to workaround the issue by running:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install tzdata-java
