Hi Michael,

Where do you see that Eclipse 4.8 is the default on Ubuntu-Software?

As far as I can tell, Eclipse 3.8.1 is the default for Ubuntu Bionic (18.04 LTS).
See here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/eclipse

I didn't notice an entry for Eclipse in bionic-updates, either:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/allpackages

I have had success installing Eclipse manually, but I think the issue is that the package manager installs software that doesn't run.

Thanks for your help.
