Eclipse crashes when it tries to auto-fill option for populating the methods

Question

I am using Eclipse, Juno version. It loads well. But when it tries to use the autofill features for methods pop-down, it crashes. With the following log:

Tried the answer by the BugZilla as the log inicated. But still it's the same. Any ideas to resolve this?

I also had this problem. However, thanks to THIS thread, I fixed it by adding -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla to my eclipse.ini file.
