Go to Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts, expand the "Basic" folder and select "Text Font" and change that to whatever size you like. Show activity on this post. Restart Eclipse to apply changes.
Tip. You can set which Eclipse editor or external program to use to open a specific type of file based on its file extension. Just select Window→ Preferences→ Workbench→ File Associations, select the file type, and associate an editor or program with it (if nothing else, you can use Eclipse's default text editor).
This is what we figured out, and this is also found in this answer and also this answer (I'll quote):
Go to Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts, expand the "Basic" folder and select "Text Font" and change that to whatever size you like.
Pretty simple!
The answer by @Jake works fine on the editor. To also change the font size of the global Eclipse GUI, I have added the follows:
*{font-size:8;}
in the file:
ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.themes_*/css/e4_default_gtk.css
worked for me. This is explained here: How to change eclipse font sizes
Eclipse provides a handy shortcut to shortcut for what is well explained in Jake Toronto answer (only by 2 points increments/decrements though).
On MacOS:
On Windows/Fedora:
Go to Preferences → General → Appearance → Colors and Fonts, expand the "Basic" folder and select "Text Font" and change that to whatever size you like.

The answer by @George worked fine, but if it doesn't work on the file he referred to, then you might try applying the same modification on another file from the same folder: e4_basestyle.css.
For me it worked this way (my version of the Eclipse SDK is 4.2.2).
