Well, I had that too; I managed to get proper jvm logfiles by using a start script instead of Eclipse's launcher. Create a file "start.sh" in your eclipse home with:

#!/bin/bash
ulimit -c unlimited
/opt/java/jdk1.7.0_25/bin/java -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx2048m -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/dev/null -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar -console

Mark it executable (chmod a+x start.sh) and use it to start Eclipse.
This at least produces the jvm logs again.

In addition, for me Eclipse on Ubuntu 13.04 has been *rock solid*, both
4.2 and 4.3, no crashes *at all* with daily use for many hours a day
(yes, lack of real life ;-) by doing the following:

* Disable browser support by adding the 
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/dev/null 
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla 
parameters to eclipse.ini

* Apply the workaround for bug# 416869:
sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar

With those things no crashes.
