Strange behaviour with Eclipse

[Marco Biscaro]

Binary package hint: unity

When running Eclipse (Helios, 3.6, over OpenJDK 6b20-1.10~pre3-0ubuntu4), I got two strange things...

First: the menu bar simply does not exist! If I press F10, the menu 'File' is shown, but still having no menu bar (see attached screenshot).

Second: the launcher that appears on side bar does not match with Eclipse. Actually, is like that the GIMP is opened (again, see screenshot).

I guess the menu bar problem is a problem for all Java apps, or
perhaps Eclipse is special. In any case you can get the menus back by
running 'unset UBUNTU_MENUPROXY' in a terminal and then launching
eclipse from that terminal.

The icon mess up is prolly also related to Java apps somehow, that
BAMF can't figure out which app they represent.

the java issue with appmenu is bug #659931

[Marco Biscaro (marcobiscaro2112)]

It happens only with SWT based apps (like eclipse and tuxguitar).

I've made a little app to test this on Swing and the menu is rendered in Java (so, it does not integrate to Unity). See attached screenshot.

Ah... and with Swing the icon is correctly displayed too.
