Same problem here with 13.10 upgraded since 12.04. With upgrading eclipse was updated to 3.8 and all my plugins were gone so I tried to reinstalled it but it crashed.
Checked everything - deleted config, tried different plugins in different order. Sometimes I had one install successful, but next install: crash again. Finally I searched the web – switched GTK2 style to Raleigh. Everything works – but looks awkward. This is NO solution because every program using GTK2 looks strange after that, e.g. thunderbird. I wanted to stick with the eclipse version from the repositories but maybe I'll try an update to Kepler if it is fixed there. The look and feel is really bad. Maybe you can just update the eclipse version in this release. I saw that 3.8.1 is also planned for trusty, so please address this bug! I attached a crash report. ** Attachment added: "hs_err_pid25778.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/1205452/+attachment/3888964/+files/hs_err_pid25778.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eclipse in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205452 Title: Eclipse unusable in Kubuntu Saucy (almost immediate JVM segfault) Status in “eclipse” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1.
