This is actually Eclipse making a mess of applying the Adwaita theme.
Compare with gEdit's file browser: http://i.imgur.com/b52VXS2.png

IntelliJ's file browser is certainly more dense, but arguably less
attractive, (note, I did drop GNOME's font size down to 9 for this
screenie, because that's closer to the font size that IntelliJ uses, since
it ignores GNOME's setting): http://i.imgur.com/VqqH7Gd.png

This all boils down to a matter of taste; no one theme will satisfy
everybody, but that's why the toolkit can be themed. If Adwaita's use of
white-space isn't to your liking you can always choose a different theme
that suits your tastes better.

Cheers,
R
