This is a bug related to Eclipse and Webkit. (Eclipse Official Bug Database)

One workaround is tell Eclipse to not use Webkit and use Mozilla's Gecko instead.

Add these two lines at the end of your eclipse.ini:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner

This workaround, by default, greately reduces the features of JavaDoc hover view. The lost features can be restored by installing a library called "XULRunner". According to SWT FAQ, the latest version of XULRunner that Eclipse 4.x can use is 10.x. We can obtain it from Mozilla's FTP site.

The following commands will download and unpack the 64bit build of XULRunner:

wget https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/10.0/runtimes/xulrunner-10.0.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
tar xjvf xulrunner-10.0.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
sudo cp -R ./xulrunner/ /usr/lib/

If you are using 32bit version of Linux, download and unpack the 32bit version of XULRunner:

wget https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/10.0/runtimes/xulrunner-10.0.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
tar xjvf xulrunner-10.0.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
sudo cp -R ./xulrunner/ /usr/lib/

Aleksandr Zhuikov has an another workaround in his blog: http://aleksz-programming.blogspot.com/2013/03/eclipse-and-webkit-on-ubuntu-64.html

He provides a modified version of libwebkitgtk package which fixes this problem. Unfortunately his package is no longer installable via normal way on updated systems today, as it breaks other libraries such as "libjavascriptcoregtk".

It is, however, possible to unpack his package manually and replace existing webkit library directly:

dpkg -x libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_1.10.0-0ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb ./
sudo cp ./usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.17.3 /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.17.3
sudo ln -f -s /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.17.3 /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0

Obviously this can break other Webkit-based applications in future, so let's hope Eclipse fixes this problem before more things break.
