I have exactly the same problem.
Linux Mint Cinnamon 17 x64
Oracle Java 1.7
I was using Eclipse Juno previously, and Windowbuilder would often hang Eclipse.
Updated to Mars (x64) today, and now even with a simple frame, Windowbuilder crashes and hangs Eclipse completely. I have to kill it via the kill command.
Tried searching for updates, but no updates found
This is not good, folks!
Windowbuilder works just fine under Windows, but certainly not in Linux.
Please fix asap, or suggest a more stable GUI designer.
Unfortunately, I can't "Create Report" or "Reparse" as the whole app has hung.

No help will be coming. I have reported the same bug for RHEL 6 over six months ago. The developer will blame the window manager, then linux in general then say he does not have linux and thus cannot help you. WindowBuilder apears to use some feature that is not well implemented in the SWT GTK libraries. Everything else in linux works, the rest of eclipse works but not windowbuilder. No support is coming because, linux is after all the wild west of operating systems. I suggest, that if you can, switch to Netbeans and the always working GUI builder it has ( though I hate the appoach it takes ).

A video driver bug could also be the cause and would affect multiple window managers as well. I doubt the problem lies in any Eclipse or SWT code as you stated it worked fine prior to the OS update. Something is disabling off screen rendering, so you are getting a blank image. I have seen "optimizations" like that done in Linux updates in the past and then seem them backed out in the very next update. Each new generation of developers hacking on Linux seems to introduce the same bug and then fix it later. I have seen this happen several times over the last ten years or so. Unfortunately, Linux is the Wild West of operating systems, and you are guaranteed virtually no forward, backward, or sideways (between distros) compatibility.
