I was able to reproduce this bug
1. run eclipse
2 open preferencies -> Java -> installed JREs    and get the same results as shown in The Screenshot
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-7/+bug/1047762/+attachment/3300355/+files/eclipse-crash-jdk.png

By looking into the workspace/.metadata/.log
I found that the bug was caused by:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.ibm.icu.text.SimpleDateFormat

This is a variant of an old Debian/Ubuntu bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600288

I am able to workaround the issue by running:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install tzdata-java

Title:
  java-6-openjdk-amd64 + Eclipse not working

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During last update of Ubuntu 12.10 beta the JRE for the system was
  updated to:

    Selección   Ruta                                            Prioridad  Estado
  ------------------------------------------------------------
    *0            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   1071      modo automático

  This means openjdk-7

  It started to crash eclipse. I mean, the system can run eclipse but
  weird things started to happen. See attached screenshot.

  I had to go back to sun jre.

  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java

  
  Any of the following JDKs seems to be affected.
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java

  
  The problem is that no log is show, just random errors in the environment. But I was able to reproduce 100% of time.
