Subclipse install crashes Eclipse without any message

Question

I run Eclipse Oxygen 2 on Ubuntu 16. Trying to install Subclipse plugin. Eclipse just crashes during installation without any message. How to find problem?

UPD.

Eclipse doesn't start anymore.

After several crashes currently I sometimes get messages box:

Subclipse is able to provide an Eclipse plugin for Windows that includes the needed native DLL's, so installation on Windows is easy. On Linux and Mac, due to differences in how library loading is handled, it is not possible to provide the libraries in a way that "just works".

You will have to install JavaHL on Linux.
