one workaround is to edit the file /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini,

and add this line :

"--launcher.GTK_version
2"

before the line "--launcher.appendVmargs"

after this modification it's the version "2" of gtk launcher who will be used, the GUI will be much better and the background of tooltips will have a correct color

Sounds like a theme issue.

FYI, this workaround also fixes a bug with egit in eclipse-cpp where the team->commit window "path" column text is invisible.

I tried changing eclipse's theme and xfce's, but there was no effect.

Should I open a new bug for that? If so, here or on eclipse or egit?

Bad theming with the default Adwaita GTK3 theme is an upstream issue.

OK, but my default theme was Menda (I'm using Manjaro) and changing to Clearlooks had no effect. Are these all broken GTK3 themes?

Also this worked fine on eclipse Luna a week or so ago. Not sure if themes have been updated since then, and I haven't tried rolling back eclipse.

So where would one report this? bugzilla.gnome.org?

I guess Luna used GTK2 by default:
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20150204-1316

and now Mars has switched to GTK3:
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.300.v20150602-1417

[Edit: Seems Luna made the switch to GTK3, and I had no SWT_GTK3=0 override, so dunno why it was working.
Now that I know what to google, seems this is an old issue, so I'll shut up now.]
