After updating to GNOME 3.8 with libsoup 2.42.0, Eclipse reliably crashes after a few seconds of using:

#

The workaround of adding
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
to eclipse.ini works for me, too.

I have the same issue. 
Ubuntu 14.04 x64 with Eclipse 4.2 and Oracle Jdk 1.6.0_38 x64 

After last system update eclipse are closing unexpectedly.

Previous workaround of adding

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

to eclipse.ini works for me, too.
