I was using eclipse Juno (ver 4.2.1) on my 64bit ubuntu 12.04 for almost a month or more. It was working perfectly and I really enjoyed working on it.

However two days back I upgraded my machine to Ubuntu 12.10 since than eclipse Juno is working strangely irritating. It crashes frequently. I even removed the old installation completely and reinstalled everything (ADT, Subclipse, CDT etc.)

What could be the possible reason behind this ? How I solve it ?

I have similar problem with my Ubuntu 12.10 and Eclipse Juno 4.2.

So every now and then, when I switch between applications, my Eclipse crashes. It simply closes itself with some error screen with a lot's of gtk libs mentioned. I've got info screen that this crash report will be sent for further analysis.

Then I've search on the net, and found this bug report in eclipse:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382812

Following this bug, at the end you will find that it is confirmed on:
Eclipse SDK 4.2.0

And it will be solved in Eclipse 4.3.

One of possible solution is to download latest Eclipse nightly buid, but I've switched back to Eclipse Indigo and will wait for official Eclipse 4.3
