Vanilla eclipse (3.3 version) doesn't crash here.

It wont work with the default VM (/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java) , so install another and start eclipse with it:
In example, after installing sun-java6-jdk package:

/opt/eclipse3.3/eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java

Yes, I know, installing 3rd party packages doesn't help ubuntu's development process... BUT many of us need eclipse TO WORK, and simply cannot wait another 2 months for this to be fixed.
The other alternative is to install again Feisty and stop testing Gutsy... so this is "less bad"
