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
