Neither Eclipse nor LiCLipse cannot be started. Both of them start with the Segmentation fault (core dumped) problem. I try to reinstall with eclipse-installer and from packages, but none of them work. Installer starting with a segmentation fault. :(:(:( I try to update Java but it can not help me. GDB log file:

The problem is in linux kernel - linux-image-4.4.0-81-generic contains a fix for the Stack Clash vulnerability.

Be careful with kernel updates, which fix this vulnerability. Current patch breaks many java (sun/oracle and openjdk) applications. See Bug #1699772: linux-image-4.4.0-81-generic, linux-image-3.13.0-121-generic Regression: many user-space apps crashing. The solution is to temporary reboot system with old kernel (linux-image-3.13.0-119-generic in Trusty).

Ubuntu kernel developers will prepare new patch in a few days.

UPDATE: Latest updates (at least image-4.4.0-83-generic, linux-image-4.8.0-58-generic, linux-image-4.10.0-26-generic) fix this vulnerability and problems with user-space programs.
