Just to add a new data point here. I was also having this problem, and I
had the following JDKs installed:

ii  sun-java5-jdk                              1.5.0-11-1ubuntu2                
      Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0
ii  sun-java6-jdk                              6-00-2ubuntu2                    
      Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6

Originally, I was using Java6 as my default, but, based on some people
seeing the problem and some not, then I did:

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun


And eclipse no longer crashes, for me at least. Could anyone else who is having 
this problem also try this? That way at least we can work out where the problem 
is. But it appears to me that it is an interaction between Java 6 and Firefox 
that causes the issue.
