Why does my Eclipse Indigo crash on Ubuntu 13.04 with Oracle JDK 64bit?
I installed jdk and eclipse on to Ubuntu 13.04. It stays open till I create a project and type some basic but then suddenly within a minute when I click somewhere like javadoc or Ctrl+Space, it immediately crashes with the following message. I had this problem with Juno and Ubuntu 12.04, but when I upgraded from Juno to Indigo, it was fine. But now after using Indigo and Ubuntu 13.04 it's all messed up. Even Juno won't work with Ubuntu 13.04, I need help. I need to get eclipse working. I just am ready to install/remove anything to get Eclipse working again.

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.
