Eclipse menus don't show up in Trusty

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

[Impact]

Switching tabs between open source files with different file types in Eclipse causes the Source and Refactor menus to be empty in the global menu bar under Unity.

This is a severe usability problem for many Eclipse users. The fix proposed has been available in a PPA and is well-tested.

[Test Case]

1. Open a new project in Eclipse.
2. Open two files: one with a .java extension, another with a .txt extension.
3. Switch between the .java file and the .txt file and back again.
4. Open the Source or Refactor menu in the Unity global menu bar.

Expected result: menus with menu items
Actual result: empty menus for both

[Regression Potential]

The fix involves changes to both gtk and unity-gtk-module.

The changes to gtk are minimal and only involve the reversal of a pair of signal emissions, in a part of the code (GtkMenuTracker) which is normally used by desktop environments, not typical user applications. Therefore regression potential for the gtk update is unlikely.

The changes to unity-gtk-module involve emitting show and hide signals where they were none before has some regression potential for applications that are explicitly watching for when their menus are opening and closing. But this is rare for applications to do, and we likely would have already received bug reports for those that do. Being completely sure would require extensive testing across all gtk apps though.

Both changes together have been available as a PPA, thoroughly tested for quite some time now.

[Other Info]

The changes to unity-gtk-module depend on the changes to gtk, so both must be tested in simultaneity. Suggested to upload both to trusty-proposed at the same time.

I can only reproduce this issue in Unity, so that might be the cause somehow. Just tried in XFCE and the menus workd as expected without any issues.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Fuad Hamidan (vootsugu)]

I got the same issue

[john ferrier (john-j-ferrier)]

Same problem for me.

[john ferrier (john-j-ferrier)]

My Eclipse was the latest version (Kepler) downloaded from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, not the specific Ubuntu package "eclipse 3.8.1-1ubuntu1" which was mention above. It worked on Ubuntu 13.04 but had problem after I upgraded my OS from 13.04 to 13.10 yesterday.

[john ferrier (john-j-ferrier)]

The problem is caused by unity global menu. if I start eclipse "env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse" then there is no problem.

[john ferrier (john-j-ferrier)]

Do you have a plan to fix this before the official release of Ubuntu 13.10?

[arno_b (arno.b)]

The workaround of comment #8 fixed this issues for me.

[Franck (alci)]

Workaround works, but this is a regression nonetheless...

[Michael Prentice (splaktar)]

I'm seeing this same issue and UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse isn't helping me. This really breaks things for me, please fix ASAP.

[Adnan Hodzic (fooctrl)]

I'll try to push a fix for this problem into Debian over the upcoming

Michael Prentice re#12: In order for workaround #8 to work, you have to type in one line:
env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse
Notice the space bar after the '=' character. Do not use EXPORT etc, do not set environment variables, use this exact command provided that 'eclipse' is the command you would usually use.

[George Shields (gherbs)]

Using 13.10 (latest release 10-4-13) and clean of install fo Dart (eclipse).
Menus FAIL, solution is export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse
Now menus work!

I just upgraded 13.04 to 13.10 today 18/10/2013 and issue still exists with eclipse Kepler SR x64 version.
no worries with ubuntu build.

[Eclipse-p (eclipse-p)]

Downloaded "http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.3.1-201309111000/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-platform-4.3.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz" on Ubuntu 13.10, starting with OpenJDK 1.7.0_25: clicking the main menu bar entries does not show the menus.

[j (j-the-k)]

Eclipse Indigo works with 13.10, as it does not seem to have the gobal menu integration.
The #8 workaround helped with Kepler, thanks.

[Anders Hall (a.hall)]

Nr 8 worked for me. Nr 16 worked when running as root.

[Daniel Korsak (daniel-korsak)]

I do not have "/usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop". Installed eclipse from eclipse download page.
I have also the same problem after upgrade ubuntu to 13.10.

How can I fix it?

[Ismayilzadeh Zulfugar (su-nami)]

I also have same problem after upgrading into 13.10.

[ian stansbury (istansbury22)]

Comment 16 fixed for me.

Did have to change one line to

Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= /opt/eclipse/eclipse
                                                                (my eclipse installed directory)

Wanted to clarify if others were having problems with the solution. Thanks for the solution.

@Daniel-

if you got to eclipse directory in terminal and:

export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse

it should allow you to have a fixed solution launching with ./eclipse

[Megam Systems (megam)]

I have an eclipse bundle downloaded (tar ball) with scala/go updates.
It works when you export it in your .bashrc.
You need to have a space after = and eclipse

[曹树烽 (1033798960-n)]

We can create a .desktop file ourself. Then use the "chmod u+x eclipse.desktop". Finally,we can cleak the Icon.

[Lshanmug (lshanmug)]

Does the problem happen when using Oracle JRE or happens only with OpenJDK 1.7?

[Gavin-smith (gavin-smith)]

Same problem, again on 13.10. This time with:

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

Since the package that configures the desktop file is "eclipse", " unity-gtk-module" has no relationship with this bug.

[gbolcer (gbolcer)]

Used workaround. Menus work, Eclipse launches, but Ivy and Vaadin plugin menus do not. Eclipse assumes they are already installed, but no way to access them either through the toolbar or the right-click on project menus. Uinstall and reinstall have no effect.

[Tin Tvrtkovic (tinchester)]

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY makes Eclipse not use the global menu, right?

It works for me, but it's extra screen real-estate wasted and the HUD doesn't work.

[Dac Chartrand (conner-bw)]

Hi, this is a long shot but the symptoms are the same. That is, Java apps that used Global Menus working fine in 13.04 are now broken in 13.10 - the UBUNUTU_MENUPROXY being the same.

The possibly related (or unrelated?) bug was narrowed down to "Native crash in org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._gtk_widget_show." Crash logs and test case here (in the thread):

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=419729

Ie. Launchpad bug #1241101. It would be nice to get some coordinated efforts on this?

Best regards,

[Luis Martín (luismartinsev)]

I've upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 today and same problem. Everyone seems to fix their problem with:
env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= path/to/eclipse
and editing eclipse.desktop to add the same to the Exec line,
but I'm still having this issue.

Netbeans (also Java) doesn't even start. I must say that just after upgrading Ubuntu, I tried to open Eclipse, but there was an error saying Java was not installed. It worked perfectly in Ubuntu 13.04 though.

So I've followed the steps provided here to reinstall Java: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
and then Eclipse starts with this annoying bug. The splash screen looks also buggy, displaying part of it repeated just below like a pattern.

Please I need this working. Any help would be really appreciated.

[Enol (nfsu-2-91)]

I have the same problem, the menus won't show. I did not install eclipse, just unpacked the jar.gz and run it. This worked fine in ubuntu 13.04, but doesn't in 13.10.

[Patrick Roncagliolo (roncapat)]

The problem affects my eclipse startup splash screen too...

[Andrey T (tandrey-office)]

I have exactly the same bug in eclipse - menus don't work. splash screen as in the previous message. Ubuntu 13.10.

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

Can you upload a screen-shot of you workspace?

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

Do you experience this same behaviour when:

- Editing images in GIMP?
- Cutting an image in Simple Scan?

[Patrick Roncagliolo (roncapat)]

Simple Scan works...
I don't have GIMP installed

"Can you upload a screen-shot of you workspace?"

This is a screenshot of my eclipse on a two-screens configuration... but i don't know how it can help us...

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

I think Eclipse used to be black-listed in raring in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies/libappmenu.so
but now in Saucy it's in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/modules/libunity-gtk-module.so

Maybe it's not getting picked up because it's in a different .so?

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

I'm unable to reproduce this bug using two different computers.

Are you experiencing this bug after updating your system?

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

"Are you experiencing this bug after updating your system?"

Here is what I tested:

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

The fix for this bug is simply to add the "UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse" to the .desktop file in the i386 Eclipse package.

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

Probably developers did in the AMD64 package, but forgot in the i386.

[Patrick Roncagliolo (roncapat)]

but in ubuntu 12.04 menus weren't in the global bar?

[Patrick Roncagliolo (roncapat)]

this is just a workaround... problems with ubuntu 13.10 are not solved since we have to do a workaround to fix part of the problem and there is still something wrong because for example we can se a bug even in the splash screen... correct me if i'm wrong

[Mihai Vinaga (vinaga-mihai)]

I agree with Patrick Roncagliolo. I upgraded from 13.04 and it broke my Eclipse and Zend Studio as well which by the way displayed the menus correctly integrated with Ubuntu, now I have to do the workaround. Can anyone tell us if this is eclipse or ubuntu problem?

[Dac Chartrand (conner-bw)]

Alberto, that's not a fix. That's a workaround.

Global Menus (appmenu, hud) is a flagship Ubuntu feature that needs attention by product owners who care about this feature.

 * Bug #1241101 has a simple, reproducible, test case and the dev on the Eclipse side is waiting for a patch.
 * Bug #618587 claims this issue is fixed (comment 33). So, this is either a regression, or a fix was never released in the first place?
 * Etc. I can dig up half a dozen reports like this but I wont.

It would be nice if people stopped sweeping this under the rug.

Thank you for your consideration.

[Patrick Roncagliolo (roncapat)]

good news... look at this... in my eclipse sr1 installation on ubuntu 13.10 only the menù "edit" works !!!

i discovered it after whitelisting eclipse with:

sudo sed -i 's/Eclipse/Eclipse/g' /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/modules/libunity-gtk-module.so
(found at http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/eclipse-ide-get-ubuntu-appmenu-and-hud.html)

i'm not sure if that is due to the command i have posted just right now or if before the mod the edit menu could be seen...

[Patrick Roncagliolo (roncapat)]

here is the screen of that "miracle"

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

Alberto, just to be clear, by "good" I meant the global menu was disabled and the in-window menu worked and by "bad" I meant the global menu was enabled and broken.

IMO, on the short term, the workaround to remove the global menu should be applied by default, as it was in 13.04 because the real issue might take a while to fix.

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

Yes, sorry. So:

- Eclipse package in i386 needs to be workarounded.
- Then, "unity-gtk-module" shall be fixed.

[Patrick Roncagliolo (roncapat)]

splash screen is another "stupid" bug, but i can't figure why we shouldn't consider it too.

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

"splash screen is another "stupid" bug, but i can't figure why we shouldn't consider it too."

I think it should be filled as a separate bug.

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

Yes, it's a different bug. Moreover filling it as a separate one will make it to be fixed faster than this one.

If you make a different report for the splash screen, tell the bug number here and we will confirm and triage it immediately.

Thank you.

[joseangelmadrid (joseangelmadrid)]

Workaround: Those who have created the Unity menu entry from "Fix this to the panel" should add the "env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= " in the .desktop file created in /home/user/.local/share/applications

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

Interesting: g_get_prgname() returns "Eclipse" in 13.04 and it returns "eclipse" (notice the case) in 13.10 but only Eclipse is blacklisted.

Ahmed,
Just guessing at the problem but are you launching eclipse from the command line? If you are launching as root from the command line the eclipse.desktop file doesn't take effect. This file is only for launching from the dash.

To launch from the command line with this fix type in:
env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= /opt/eclipse/eclipse

(remembering the space after the "=").

Hope that helps

[Sebastián Funicello (cuacrzz)]

I did the eclipse.desktop file thing and now works, but it seems to be eclipse 3.8 version and i had Kepler. Splash screen looks old too. There's anyone else with this problem?

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

Sebastián, which eclipse.desktop file did you modify? The one from the Ubuntu Eclipse package or did you create your own? Ubuntu only packages Eclipse 3.8 so if you want to use kepler (4.3), you have to download, extract it manually (from the sound of it you already did that) then you need to create your own .desktop file that points to the executable, with the same menu workaround. You can drag that new .desktop file to the launcher.

The splash screen I believe got fixed recently in the upcoming version 4.4 because it looks fine with the latest build for me but not earlier versions. I'll poke around to see if the fix can be backported to the 4.3 stream but this is a bit off-topic...

I think a good temporary solution for the menu would be to fix the blacklist so Eclipse is blacklisted again at the "program name" level so that both the Ubuntu package and the eclipse.org packages have a working menu again. But from what I understand of the problem, it would only workaround the issue for Eclipse products that have "eclipse" or "Eclipse" has the executable name and not the other products that have a different executable name (Aptana? Dart?). Still, that would mean most people won't have to apply a workaround manually which is a big win IMO. I just need a few spare hours to verify all this and push a fix ;)

[Kevin Navero (solstice333)]

This might help clarify any desktop file ambiguity (in the case where Eclipse is downloaded directly from the website and unpacked):

http://askubuntu.com/questions/26632/how-to-install-eclipse

[Sebastián Funicello (cuacrzz)]

I made my own eclipse.desktop file, and pasted this:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Eclipse
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= /opt/eclipse/eclipse
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Type=Application
Categories=IDE;Development
X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=NewWindow
[NewWindow Shortcut Group]
Name=New Window
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= /opt/eclipse/eclipse
TargetEnvironment=Unity

But it opens 3.8 version. Then I looked if unpacking eclipse folder and make desktop file again fixes it but nothing, it keeps showing 3.8 version.

Anyway, this bug it's about something else and have a temporary solution, my problem is different so maybe i should look somewhere else, idk.

[waffen (mlacunza)]

@cuacrzz:: thats fine, your desktop file is pointing to the by defuault eclipse installation, change the path to your local eclipse v.4 that works for me.

[Sebastián Funicello (cuacrzz)]

@waffen: You were right, somehow I pasted other path from another page I suppose, and not that I pasted here (kinda stupid, I know :P), now I fixed it and it works. Thanks everyone!

[Marc-Andre Laperle (malaperle)]

As a follow up to my previous comment: Unfortunately, adding "eclipse" to the blacklist (in addition to "Eclipse") only works for 32 bit because in 64 bit, the eclipse process forks a java process. Since the blacklist works on the executable name, that would mean blacklisting all java programs which would be overkill. It looks like the real solution will be to make the global menu work.

Here are my observations looking into blacklisting:

13.04:
- g_set_prgname is called first with "eclipse" when showing the splash screen
- A few seconds later g_set_prgname is called again with "Eclipse", from some java code
- Then, when a gtk_combo_box is constructed, the menu_proxy_module gets loaded and the blacklist is checked using g_get_prgname, "Eclipse" matches

13.10 (32 bit):
- g_set_prgname is called first with "eclipse" when showing the splash screen
- In the same call to show the splash screen, gtk_module gets initialized and the blacklist is checked using g_get_prgname, "eclipse" doesn't match "Eclipse"
- Then a few seconds later g_set_prgname is called again with "Eclipse", from some java code

13.10 (64 bit):
- g_set_prgname is called first with "java" when showing the splash screen
- In the same call to show the splash screen, gtk_module gets initialized and the blacklist is checked using g_get_prgname, "java" doesn't match "Eclipse"
- Then a few seconds later g_set_prgname is called again with "Eclipse", from some java code

[Juan Carlos (qheolet)]

Is not just eclipse Sublime Editor 2 /3 and today i feel the global menu using gimp laggi and slow...... i never use a ubuntu version so buggy.... is weirds what happen with the comunity?

[Sergio (sergiorussia)]

about splash screen issue i should note that the same problem appears in IntelliJ IDEA, however it sometimes shows with unneeded title bar instead of the garbage, which i think is the root of the problem. same Eclipse and IDEA installations worked fine in 13.04, so i guess it's related to Java and/or hmm… lets call it "broken window decorating"?

Hi guys,

I am very new to UBUNTU.

I have a question : eclipse ide 3.8 is very fine in 13.04 or not..?
 because as per the bug mentioned here I am facing the same problem.

[igor (igoryonya)]

The bug also affects GIMP and Inkscape

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

Since the origin of the bug is the "unity-gtk-module" package, this is the only affected one.

[vtec (vitekcvachoucek)]

I have run a debugging session from the Eclipse side. When you click the global menu it is producing event that gets handed down to the main SWT loop, there Eclipse takes the event and gives it back to GTK calling gtk_main_do_event for precise targeting of the affected component. Without the global menu the event would popout back from GTK inside the Menu widget triggering something like menuIsAboutToShow callback. With global menu however the event is swallowed and never comes back.

The Java code in Eclipse has no role here nor the super-thin SWT native code. It an apparent regression in the behavior of the GTK library. In other words it is Ubuntu global menu back not being compatible with standard GTK behavior.

[Adrian Wilkins (adrian-wilkins)]

Revisiting this : I don't see this behaviour with Inkscape or with GIMP.

I still see this with Eclipse 4.3

The behaviour almost looks like the menu is being drawn behind the application window, but that could just be a product of the code flow mentioned above.

See attached image : the top of the menu visible in the menu bar area has been drawn, along with some of the menu spilling into the application window, but this seems to have stopped short of rendering the whole menu. This is the product of clicking the menu item.

[Adrian Wilkins (adrian-wilkins)]

In addition, the top-level menu titles are available in the HUD, but none of their content.

[dapaldo (dpalomar)]

Same behaviour with eclipse 3.8.1 and eclipse 4.3 and springsource tool suite (eclipse same version based) on ubuntu 14.04.
Tested with openjdk-7 and oracle-jdk7.
OS: ubuntu trusty 14.04
Only top-level menu items are available.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Raymond Wells (rfw2nd)]

Confirmed on Trusty as well. Still no submenus w/ the gloabal menu.

[matthieu vidal (mvidal0001)]

Still a problem with trusty alpha ... except for the menu Edit

the problem is also there when "In Window Title Bars" is checked.

Hooray! Any chance of a backport to Saucy or is it destined to be broken for that release forever? (although I suppose I'll be upgrading quite soon....)

[matthieu vidal (mvidal0001)]

Great !!! It works on the beta

but the icons of the menus are missing

[Wiktor: Nizio (zap-4)]

The proplem persists on Trusty in Eclipse. Menus 'Search', 'Source' and 'Refactor' become inaccessible after 1+ hour of working. They are okay only for a while when Eclipse is run. Not observed for any of the other menus.

[Dan Jared (danjaredg)]

I created the Java Ayatana Project http://code.google.com/p/java-swing-ayatana/, And I have a similar problem, when you change the menu items direct of menu bar, the menu items aren't refresh, and the Eclipse Kepler create and remove menu items direct of menu bar for a open file or selected project or resource.

[William Hua (attente)]

@zap-4 Hi Wiktor, my apologies, I'm not an Eclipse user. Is there a set of simple steps I could do to reproduce the missing menus problem?

[William Hua (attente)]

@zap-4 Also Wiktor, what Eclipse version are you using? Thanks.

[Wiktor: Nizio (zap-4)]

It's Eclipse Kepler Service Release 2 Build id: 20140224-0627 (Eclipse Standard) with Android plugin (ADT). I do not know the styeps. It happens about three times a day (sometimes in less than one hour) and requires Eclipse restart to heal..

[matthieu vidal (mvidal0001)]

IMPORTANT : I think this new problem (#101) is not specific to eclipse. Did you try the HUD (ALT+text of the menu) when this problem occurs ?

I've got this problem when playing (too long ... ) to FiveOrMore game. Only the HUD gives me access to the menu choices then the menus are accessible again with the mouse.

[Adrian Wilkins (adrian-wilkins)]

@mvidal0001 - Icons missing is the default GTK config option. The GNOME config panels don't show it, of course, because giving choices to users only confuses them, poor things. As does having icons on menus, which is "cluttered" and thus confusing. Apparently.

You can turn it back on like this...

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1246454&p=7829482#post7829482

[matthieu vidal (mvidal0001)]

@adrian-wilkins

Thanks for the answer.

I've done this a long time ago and I have checked that it's still set like that.

I should have indicated that the icons are visible with the UBUNTU_MENUPROXY = 0 workaround.

Firefox is the only application having its menu icons in fact.

about #106 I'm working with the new option 'Menus in title bar"

[José Carlos Valero (sirjoseca)]

This bug is still present in last daily build of ubuntu 14.04 LTS (16/04/2014). Is it planned to be solved before final release?

Thx

[William Hua (attente)]

Hi José, is the problem that some of the menus disappear after some Eclipse usage? Do you happen to know if there's an easy way to replicate that problem?

[matthieu vidal (mvidal0001)]

About Source and Refactor Menus the problem seems to appear when you work with two files of a different type.

ie. Java file vs a text file.

when focusing the text file as there are not Source and Refactor menus for a text file, these two menus are not reactivated when switching back to the Java file. They are empty as describes by the initial problem.

The HUD do not work for these menus and I do not see a workaround to reveale the content of these two menus.

This is a different problem of #106

[William Hua (attente)]

Hi matthieu, thanks, I managed to replicate it thanks to your instructions. I'll see if I can figure out what's happening...

[HENRY Florian (bientotlaferme)]

I get this bug on new 14.04 and last stable eclipse 4.3.2. Fix by running ecluse with little bach

In fact no, bug appears again. I guess it's because I use PDT (PHP dev tool) and the PHP file type cannont be Refactored.... But the menu are still available on select code and right click, I can Format my php code at least

Hello, I uploaded a fix for the Source/Refactor menu problem to a PPA.

To install:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:attente/eclipse-menus
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-mark hold libunity-gtk2-parser0 libunity-gtk3-parser0 unity-gtk2-module unity-gtk3-module

Once the fix is released, you can unhold the packages with:

sudo apt-mark unhold libunity-gtk2-parser0 libunity-gtk3-parser0 unity-gtk2-module unity-gtk3-module

[Sérgio Faria (sergio91pt)]

@attente I installed the ppa, but Eclipse now keeps crashing a few seconds after showing the UI. Both Kepler and the repo version.

Its a SIGSEGV in

[William Hua (attente)]

@sergio91pt Sounds very plausible, could you please let me know what plugins you're running? Thanks.

[William Hua (attente)]

@sergio91pt You're correct, I've replicated the problem by installing a couple of C/C++ plugins.

[Arunkumar-thondapu-i (arunkumar-thondapu-i)]

Verified it is fixed on Ubuntu 14.04. The current version of Unity in Ubuntu 14.04 still does not show the 'Source' and 'Refactor' menus but even that problem has a fix which should be made available in an update soon. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-gtk-module/+bug/1208019/comments/116 for installing the fixed packages now.

[William Hua (attente)]

@sergio91pt Hi, are you using Eclipse from the distro? Or upstream's more recent version?

[William Hua (attente)]

@sergio91pt The plugins crash disappeared when I upgraded to Eclipse Luna 4.4. I also tested with Kepler 4.3, so it might be exclusively the Ubuntu version with that crash.

If anyone else is experiencing the crash Sérgio mentioned re: plugins, you might want to try upstream's version.

[Sérgio Faria (sergio91pt)]

@attente I have both installed, but I always use my own install of Kepler (Java EE Developers suite, SR2, last update roughly 1 month ago).
I tested with both, using the same workspace (gets some shared plugins).

I also have jayata [1] installed, removed it and tested with JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="" but it still crashes.

Attached is a list of all plugins I have installed, some are from dev channels: gradle, groovy and the theme plugin.
I'll test Luna and report back.

@attente Sorry for taking so long. I've tried it on Luna, with most of my old plugins re-installed and it works without the constant crashing.

I deleted .metadata and restarted (which I think I didn't do before), now it also works on Kepler.

For the webkit crash in webkit_web_view_get_type, either disable overlay-scrollbar with LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 or use a recent build of Eclipse Luna (which disables them at startup). See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=425614

Sorry

[Franck (alci)]

I don't really get what is happening to you guys... I used to see this bug, but not anymore since at least 13.10. I'm using eclipse on a daily basis with no problem (with egit and a clovergui plugin based on GEF). I just upgraded to Luna (4.4.0), and things work just fine.

Here is my .desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]

So there must be another parameter kicking in than just eclipse + unity global menus, as this work out of the box for me and my coworkers.
Notice I don't use eclipse package as they are outdated, I just use plain tar.gz directly from eclipse.

Accepted unity-gtk-module into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-gtk-module/0.0.0+14.04.20140403-0ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

gtk+3.0 (3.10.8-0ubuntu1.2) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Update Vcs-Bzr to a trusty branch.

  [ William Hua ]
  * Take upstream git-menu-binding-emit-submenu-close-after-activate.patch:
    - Ensures that menu item activations occur before GMenuModel
      submenu-action state changes (LP: #1208019)

Also can confirm that proposed package fixed problem

[Mathew Hodson (mhodson)]

unity-gtk-module is still in -proposed and has not been moved to -updates yet. unity-gtk-module should still be marked Fix Committed for trusty.

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

It was moved to updates on 2014-08-21 so now it is Fix Released.
