I'm having a strange issue with the Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu.
When opening a modal dialog in eclipse and then switching to another tool, like my browser, and then switching back again, the modal dialog I had open seems to disappear.
Is there any way to get the dialog back into focus? This is quite annoying when the dialogs are modal. So far, the only way I can get it working again is to exit the IDE, and then open it again.
Thanks for helping.
This is a bug in Unity and is not limited to Eclipse - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1584885.
Unfortunately the only workaround as mentioned in the comments is to close Eclipse - right-click on the Eclipse icon in the taskbar and select 'Quit' (you might have to do it more than once until Eclipse responds).
You could also upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 which features GNOME instead of Unity.

I installed Eclemma on Eclipse Neon and the guide says I should be able to find an icon on the toolbar like above. However, I cannot find it and I searched online about this problem and saw some people having trouble with it. But I haven't found a solution to it..
I uninstalled and re-installed Eclemma but I still can't find the icon.
I’ve just had the same problem and a web search led me to this page. If you are using Windows 7 and Eclipse Neon, I found I could get the coverage button to appear (and work) if I:
Run Eclipse as administrator (right click and look for the menu item)
Install Eclemma as normal.
If prompted to restart Eclipse, click on “no”.
Manually close Eclipse
Run Eclipse again as administrator.
From eclipse open Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective
Go to "Action Set Availability" tab
In the "Available action sets" pane check "Java Code Coverage" checkbox
Click Ok
Use the keys CTRL + SHFT + F11! It worked on my windows 10.
I'm running Eclipse Mars on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and it seems impossible to dock windows in the IDE.
Normally, when you drag a tab to a border of the editor pane, it will dock within the pane. This makes it easy to work on several files at once. But as soon as I start to drag a tab, it creates a detached window. This window has no menu or toolbar and I can find no way to re-attach it to the main editor.
Can anyone suggest a way to make the Eclipse windows behave normally?
Seems like it was some kind of transient display problem. Closing Eclipse and rebooting fixed it. I guess I should have tried that first :S
I try to use Eclipse in Kubuntu 14.04LTS but everytime I try to click on a link it automatically closes.
Does anyone use Kubuntu and had the same problem?
try to changing the GTK theme on System settings -- Application Appearance -- GTK
Some problems on Eclipse are related to this. Do not use Oxigen-gtk.
I recently switched from Eclipse Galileo to Eclipse Juno. On Juno I found out a very annoying inconvenience: Whenever I am debugging and I step from one editor into another (when pressing F5 steps into another file), the focus is lost and I have to click on the new editor in order to continue using F5 or F6. In Galileo, I would continue debugging by pressing F5 without having to re-focus the editor. Is that a bug, a change or a feature with options that I could switch off?
thanks.
it seems you're no alone with this problem in Juno. Take a look at this bug in eclipse maybe it will help you:

I updated my Netbeans from version 7.0 to 7.1.2. One of the first things I noticed is that I can no longer drag files from my explorer window into netbeans to open it. Does anyone know why I can no longer do so? Or if you know of a setting or something to get this to work as it did in the previous version that would be great. I have scoured the internet for a solution but have not been able to find and answer.
EDIT
I had updated my version of NetBeans and it had worked for a couple weeks but no I am no longer able to open files by dragging them onto the IDE.
Hate to say this, but on my Windows 7 box "it just works". Try upgrading your netbeans to a newer installation.
I found the solution to my issue. It looks like if NetBeans is run as administrator then you are no longer able to drag and drop file to open them in the IDE. Turning that off fixed the problem for me.
To do this in Windows 7: right click the Netbeans icon > Properties > Compatibility tab > Change Settings for All Users > unclick "Run this program as an administrator"
