Eclipse crashing on startup

i am using 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10 and I have Eclipse (exactly adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20131030) with SDK, I am trying to learn how to make my own Android application but Eclipse is closing automatically and randomly with no errors or warning. I run it in terminal and then it shows me some issues.

This is the terminal output:

 A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

I believe this answer on stackoverflow will solve your problem. https://stackoverflow.com/a/20204258

Technically it is just a workaround, but it solved my problem.

the link content:

Check bug report https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404776 . I suggest you > to upgrade to the newest Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler).

Alternativelly you can try workaround suggested in comment #6:

For a workaround add the following to the end of your eclipse.ini

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