Try to start Eclipse after editing your eclipse.ini file and tweaking the launcher entry like this:
--launcher.GTK_version 2 Example file:
-startup plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.100.v20150511-1540.jar --launcher.GTK_version 2 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.cpp.product --launcher.defaultAction openFile -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m --launcher.defaultAction openFile --launcher.appendVmargs -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.7 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms256m -Xmx1024m It's probably due to the GTK 3 SWT implementation. Eclipse should work perfectly with GTK 2, but uses GTK 3 on recent ubuntu.
Do a test in the command line to verify it:
Disable GTK: export SWT_GTK3=0
Launch eclipse in the same session: eclipse
If it works, make it permanent. Locate eclipse.desktop and add:
Exec=env SWT_GTK3=0 eclipse Open eclipse.ini and add the following
--launcher.GTK_version 2 before --launcher.appendVmargs
