Just created this account so i could confirm above findings.

"sudo apt-get --reinstall install tzdata-java"

fixed the problem for me too. If it doesn't work for you, I have also
been reinstalling eclipse (Indigo) and both the openjdk6 and 7 before
trying the above advice. Of course thats taking wild guesses here. My
aptitude wrangling may well have nothing to do with anything. Just
mentioned it to save others the trouble.

I'd really like to know in how far reinstalling the timezone data
package helped resolve this issue. I know, I am the curious kind. I fear
little more than the idea of dying ignorant.

Take care

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.
