You're using Ubuntu Gnome's default font Cantarell. Though I like this font, but it's Line Height is a bit higher, which is causing the menu label wrapping.
Install gnome-tweak-tool and change the font to something other than Cantarell. You can try Ubuntu font or install fonts-croscore package and use Arimo font, which is a great substitute of the Arial font.
In General, You can use this nice openjdk8 patch for Java applications in Linux to overcome java's classic non-antialiased ugly looks. The problem is this patch only works for OpenJDK8 as far as I know.

For me this issue start happening when I migrate from Unity in Ubuntu to Gnome Shell.
I used the gnome-tweak-tool as @Anwar suggested, but instead of changing the font, I just changed the scaling factor from 1 to 0.96 and it got fixed.
