Alloc: Perhaps old SWT binaries have been extracted to  your ~/.eclipse, try running:
  find ~/.eclipse -name '*.so'

If it lists any swt libraries, then your ~/.eclipse is tainted. The
crashes are then likely to be caused by these libraries being outdated
and the only known solution is to remove your ~/.eclipse.

If this is not the case (or removing your ~/.eclipse does not help), please run:
   apport-collect 563647

Thank you in advance,

Bug description:
Eclipse crashes (including the whole VM) when hovering over a method or class name (that displays a tooltip) making developement very difficult because one hovers over methods sooner or later unintentionally.
This happens with Sun JRE and OpenJDK.
Problem seems to be a bug in libmozjs.so .
