Eclipse windows will not dock on Ubuntu

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

Eclipse modal dialogs disappear under Ubuntu

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.

Corrupted eclipse toolbars

After installing MercurialEclipse to my standard android environment (Eclipse + ADT plugin) I noticed that my toolbars in idea are corrupted like on the attached screen (gaps).
Also I observe that splash screen during ide launching changed to default from Eclipse (not for Android Env).
Do you have any suggestions how can I fix these issues, especially this with tool bars?
Try to remove the following file (best way with a closed eclipse, starting after deletion):
workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi
This worked for me.
Start your eclipse with following flag:
-clearPersistedState

Integrated Terminal Window in NetBeans?

I recently started using NetBeans, but there is a missing feature which keeps me from switching completely to NetBeans. I use the Terminal all the time and it is a pain to switch from the NetBeans window to the Terminal one.
Is there a way to have a terminal window embedded into the NetBeans IDE (most Linux editors have this capability)?
A bit late answer. Netbeans 7.4 has an inbuilt support for terminal emulator. All you need is to go to Window->IDE Tools->Terminal.
Using NetBeans 8.0.2, this option can be found by going to Window->IDE Tools->Terminal in the menu.
have you seen this?
http://wiki.netbeans.org/TerminalEmulator
or this

I am not really seeing that much out there. I wonder how hard it would be to take the plugin from jEdit and integrate it into netbeans.

Eclipse failed to response under Fedora 12

i tried fedora12 yesterday, but i find eclipse doesn't work. at first i thought this problem is related to SELinux, but after i turn off selinux, i still can't
create a project, i press the "next" or "finish" button, there is no response. well the "cancel" button works. there is no error popup, or error logs.
i tried eclipse -debug -console; but there is no log output when i click the button. it is so weird, is this happened to anyone before?
environment: fedora12, JDK 1.6.0_17, eclipse Galileo.
computer: t400.
This is a bug due to a change introduced in GTK 2.18, see Bug 291257. The current workaround is to export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true before to run Eclipse. I actually use the following startup script:
#!/bin/sh
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla/
export ECLIPSE_HOME=/opt/IBM/eclipse
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*
I can't install plugins from update sites, either.
In a blank eclipse install, adding a new update site (es: jboss tools) using the keyboard works; also, it's possible to select a release to install from the available software list.
The new plugin gets installed, but won't appear in perspectives (es: jboss devel) after restart.
After that, adding new update sites and trying to install their releases won't work, the available software list remains empty.
Using Fedora 12 Eclipse 3.5..
By the way, "Fedora Eclipse" rpm is screwed at the moment, it won't install a single file
SOLUTION:
Eclipse 3.6 fix those problems http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
Just add helios update site
There seems to be an incompatability with gtk/gdk shipped with F12. You can tell eclipse to use the native GDK and it should correct these problems:
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 ./eclipse
You can also add -DGDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 to your eclipse.ini file. That should help if you switch workspaces.
it's a bug, the keyboard works. try it.
