Same issue for me. My Trusty is a fresh install from last year, constantly updated when proposed by muon-updater.
I installed Eclipse for the 1st time today, then package eclipse-jdt I had forgotten to select initially.
Launched Eclipse, just explored menus entries, wanted to click on the Tutorials link, noticed Eclipse was unresponsive, before it crashed.
Rebooted my PC, launched the HelloWorld tutorial (please don't laugh ^^), applied the first instructions before Eclipse crashed again.
I've just applied the /etc/eclipse.ini workaround, relaunched Eclipse and noticed the aspect of the welcome screen (where the Tutorials link resides) totally changed. A visible consequence of adding "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla" I believe :)
So far so good, Eclipse didn't crash in the past 15 min... (personal record)

Title:
  eclipse is a crashy mess on trusty

Status in eclipse package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It seems apport has stopped catching eclipse crashes, so I'm reporting
  this issue by hand. To reproduce, all I have to do is open a medium
  sized Java project in eclipse and try to navigate around (using F3 and
  F4 etc.). After 3 or 4 operations, eclipse always crashes. This
  started right after upgrading to trusty.

  What can I do to help folks debug this further?
