I experience similar problems when selecting an workspace on a different mountpoint than the eclipse application files reside. Is there any similarity to this bug?
I could post the error report which gets generated on a crash - if it's useful for someone...

Ubuntu version 11.10 with KDE 2. openjdk-6-jdk: Installed: 6b23~pre10-0ubuntu5 Candidate: 6b23~pre10-0ubuntu5 Eclipse version 3.7.0 sets the default workspace to /home/<username>/workspace. If I want to change it at the start, Eclipse crashes right away. If I use the default, Eclipse loads up just fine, but if I want to change it afterwards it crashes again.
