I've seen problems similar to this before when running Eclipse on Linux -- it looks like a bug between SWT and GTK, not a JOGL bug. I've also noticed I can get crashes like this on Linux if I try to set breakpoints inside some parts of the SWT source code.

You might try one or more of the following: updating Eclipse, updating your Ubuntu version (if you can do it without moving to 11.10, if you don't like the new UI), updating GTK, updating JVM (or trying the Oracle JVM).
