Eclipse was working properly under Beta 1 and Beta 2, but seems to be having issues under Beta 3. The splash screen appears, and loading completes, and even shows my workspace. (Complete with projects, last-open tabs and contents, etc.)
However, the GUI thread seems completely stalled - I have the rainbow wheel of death perpetually, and cannot interact with any of the UI.
Update: I updated to Eclipse Mars (4.5) and am experiencing the same issue.
Same for me, using the first public beta and Eclipse Luna.
If anyone finds a solution, please let us know!
Given this version of Mac OS X is beta, it probably isn't something one should be using if it is their only machine.
I too have experienced this problem and because I need to work, I'm just running Eclipse inside of a VM using the Workspace on my Mac side (via the Z: drive which is mapped to the Home directory on my Mac).
Not really sure if it is an OS X problem per se or a Java compatibilty problem that was caused by changes to the Mac OS X operating system.
There's a workaround, but corresponding comment is under review and not being released. Trying again: search for javamake on github - like github slash mnott slash javamake. I wrote a small makefile that you can adapt and that allows me to continue working, with a different editor.
Anybody have solution now?
Or anybody know the schedule of beta4?
I'm experiencing this too.
For reference, this is the URL for the bug report in the Eclipse project: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=472259
I solved this by installing OS X Yosemite on VMWare Fusion - I have a whole Virtual Machine just for Eclipse :/
Steps:
The installer will be downloaded into /Applications
Just a quick side-note here, from my latest digging, it seems to be anything SWT related - which is, of course, Eclipse is.
Here is a link to a thread in the Eclipse forum for this issue:

Thanks for sharing a post with the java make files! I'm no expert in Java, I rarely use eclipse.. But I noticed a process called MRTAgent was crashing everytime I turned on my computer. This is the best article I could find on what it is: http://www.cnet.com/news/a-look-at-apples-flashback-removal-tool/
It's a malware removal tool, but it was crashing everytime I turned on my computer (only after downloading the latest java6 from apple). So I explored the file system to remove it, and I learned a lot about where Java is located (& where it's not). Two questions I have are:
1) Are there permission issues with rootless that are sandboxing tools like eclipse (simlar to what was dicussed at WWDC)?
2) Has the internal file structure changed in /Systems/Library & /Library?
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/HomeThis seems be fine. I don't know what 'Home' is, but I saw it throughout the /System/Library & /Library in places I wasn't expecting (maybe that's normal?).
Then TOMCAT is referenced which could be an issue.. and then this:
#
# Content that is to be deployed to WEB-INF/classes,
# relative to the project root of the project. More
# than one location to be separated by spaces.
#
TO_CLASSES=config/dev/ data/
#
# Content that is to be copied to WEB-INF/lib,
# relative to the project root of the project. More
# than one location to be separated by spaces.
#
TO_LIB=lib/gson-2.3.1.jar lib/log4j.jar lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar lib/ngdbc.jar lib/sap/jar
#
# Classpath. This is what we need to complie the web application's
# class files. It is not necessarily identical with what we need
# to deploy into WEB-INF/lib: It is what we need to compile.
#
CLASSPATH=../$$WEBROOT/WEB-INF/classes:../lib/gson-2.3.1.jar:../lib/log4j.jar:lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar:../lib/ngdbc.jar:../lib/servlet-api.jar- Are these paths correct in beta 3? (or the of other paths here I didn't quote above)
- Has rootless increased security to sandbox apps in ways that weren't present in previous betas?
I think it's possible to build eclipse with awareness of what it's doing, and where eclipse is doing it. Maybe change some VAR's / paths in the makefile associated with building it - flags - etc too. It may be possible ot copy some Java runtime dependencies into different folders, if eclipse has the wrong paths, and potentially building some folders prior to downloading eclipse if you know where eclipse intends to download them.
Either way, it seems like quite a manual process, and I'd rather use beta 1,2 or wait for beta 4 - it's going to change again in a week or two - I suspect they were modifying folders in /Library - /System/Library or something like that - it broke java - and it wasn't a high enough priorty to fix it before the beta was released. But after looking through it all - I'm confidident it can be fixed (and probably already has internally).
JDK 1.8.0 Update 51 which was released today does not seem to help this problem either.
This does seem to be the source of the loop!

Also having this issue. Eclipse MARS with JDK 1.8 hangs at workspace selection.

Will.
I suggested the same thing one week ago (see higher up this thread) but it didn't seem to be enough to fix the problem on it's own. What did you do in addtion to that?
Did not do any addition steps. Just rebooted and it worked.
