Thankfully this doesn't happen for me with OpenJDK 7:
java version "1.7.0_b147"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-0.1.20110803.fc17-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)

Subject: [cross-project-issues-dev] PLEASE READ: Eclipse Crash with Java 7
64-bit
When running Eclipse with Oracle Java 7 64-bit JRE (b147), Eclipse will
crash when it tries to index help documentation that isn't shipped
together with its index. The crash happens in Apache Lucene due to a bug
in the Oracle VM (
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7070134). Oracle
confirmed the problem and is planning to ship the fix with the next
official update, currently planned for October 18.
The crash can be avoided by using the -XX:-UseLoopPredicate VM argument
(-vmargs -XX:-UseLoopPredicate).
