The salesforce plugin works fine in eclipse 3.7, and 4.x

 

I have seen this problem if eclipse was run using Java 7. Try running your eclipse using Oracle Java 6.

 

To install Oracle Java 6 type into terminal:

 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer

Hi,

 

Try to use either eclipse3.6 or eclipse3.5. The force.com IDE plugin is not compatible with the latest versions of Eclipse.

Check the details @ http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Force.com_IDE_Installation under "Install as Eclipse Plugin" subheading.
