Eclipse luna ships with an integrated dark theme, I downloaded Eclipse CDT and deleted my workspace to reset Eclipse configuration.

I switched to the dark theme and restarted Eclipse; the UI doesn't look like expected:
enter image description here

I also have checked for updates within Eclipse (no update found)
The theme is supposed to look like the screenshots in the link.

Fix text editor colors:

Help > Eclipse Marketplace > Search for "Eclipse Color Theme" and install it.

Then go to:
Windows > Preferences > General > Appearance > Color Theme

Fix text boxes colors:

Open a terminal and run

export SWT_GTK3=0

Then start Eclipse :

eclipse

The user interface should be fixed. If this worked for you edit the eclipse launch script for more convenience:

sudo gedit /usr/bin/eclipse

Add

export SWT_GTK3=0

Before:

ECLIPSE=/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse
