Appmenu does not work with Eclipse Helios

[lookout]

Appmenu applet does not work with Eclipse Helios, applet displays only part of the menu.
This problem does not occur in the Global Menu.

It would be nice to have an apps blacklist for appmenu -- i.e. "if app == Eclipse: return None"

Issue confirmed. That's a sensible suggestion too. Thanks.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

Really few menu elements appear for Eclipse.

@ted: can you blacklist Eclipse for Maverick please.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

Hmm, for reference, we were /not/ targeting SWT compatibility for Maverick.

Thanks a lot!

Such development apps needs vertical space to display lots of toolbars etc.
This is the reason I used globalmenu before.
I guess it would be better to fix it would be better to fix this bug not by just blacklisting the application.
Thanks ;-)

Same problem here. And I have just looked at the diff and I have to say that this will not work for me.

As a rule I do not install eclipse from Ubuntu repositories, and usually I have more than one eclipse installed. It will also not work for people developing plugins which need/have to launch another eclipse instance for testing/debugging purposes.

And my workaround is:

env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse

You need 'env' if you launch it using the Alt-F2 launcher

Just for the record, is SWT compatibility being target for Natty?
