Hi

I am not 100% certain it is enough just to remove those libraries, but you are certainly welcome to try. You can do it by using:
  find ~/.eclipse -name '*.so' -delete

Though, if the crashes persist or it adds the libraries again next time
you run eclipse, then rename or remove your ~/.eclipse.

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 .
