Why does my Eclipse Indigo crash on Ubuntu 13.04 with Oracle JDK 64bit?

I had the same error running ADT on Ubuntu 13.04 with Gnome Shell 3.8.
I found this relevant bug report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404776
And a workaround as posted in the bug report: Add

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

to your eclipse.ini
It worked for me, I hope it solves the problem for you as well.

I am running eclipse luna on Ubuntu 12.04 and facing the same problem. I resolved it by adding the following line in eclipse.ini file as other options didn't work for me.

-Dorg.jboss.tools.vpe.loadxulrunner=false

Hope it helps!

It appears to be an Ubuntu / GTK themes problem. According to this page on "Ubuntu Technical", it is caused by a missing GTK "theme engine" package. The fix is to identify the specific GTK theme engine package for the "mist" theme ... or just install theme engines by installing the package "gtk-engines" (source).

Note that https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404776 has been fixed, so the best way of avoiding this crash is to use Eclipse 4.3.2 or newer if you can.

For me it was the problem with this bug and the workaround was to change the GTK theme (System Settings > Application appearence > GTK).
