Downloaded "http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.3.1-201309111000/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-platform-4.3.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz" on Ubuntu 13.10, starting with OpenJDK 1.7.0_25: clicking the main menu bar entries does not show the menus.

Does the problem happen when using Oracle JRE or happens only with OpenJDK 1.7?

I have only tried with OpenJDK.

Same problem, again on 13.10. This time with:
eclipse-SDK-4.4M2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

and Java:
java -version
java version "1.8.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-ea-b111)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b53, mixed mode)

This should have been solved with Ubuntu 14.04. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-gtk-module/+bug/1208019

I mark this one as solved. Please reopen if you see any issue with Ubuntu 14.04

This is indeed fixed in Ubuntu 14.04.

Verified it is fixed on Ubuntu 14.04. The current version of Unity in Ubuntu 14.04 still does not show the 'Source' and 'Refactor' menus but even that problem has a fix which should be made available in an update soon. See  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-gtk-module/+bug/1208019/comments/116 for installing the fixed packages now.
