Another easy workaround is using Ubuntu Software Center and install "Extensible Tool Platform and java IDE" instead of "Eclipse". "Extensible Tool Platform and java IDE" will install a working Eclipse. "This package provides the whole Eclipse SDK that contains Eclipse Platform, Java development tools and Plug-in Development Environment, including source and both user and programmer documentation."
