I wouldn't be too quick to assign blame for those crashes to appmenu. I've been having frequent crashes with Eclipse 4.2 and 4.3 but these crashes started happening after I had been using the above patch for a while. Based on @luisfpg's comment I reverted the patch and the frequent crashes haven't stopped.
