This is a long-shot, but it could be a memory issue.

Eclipse is a memory hog, how much memory do you have in your computer?
How much memory was it using before it crashed?

If you open several perspectives and views you will use more memory, so
doing that can help you get it to crash more often to get more data
about this.

Try doing a memtest (with knoppix maybe?) and see if your memory is ok

Also, what filesystem are you using in general and for the workspace
specifically?
