Eclipse failed to response under Fedora 12 - eclipse

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.

Eclipse Marketplace Install pending

I just installed a new version of eclipse IDE(2020-12) and tried to install the plugins I had on the older version but had no success.
As shown in the picture, when I find the plugin in the Eclipse marketplace and click install, "install pending" shows up and nothing happens. I neither get any pop-ups that ask me to proceed with the installation nor see any progress at the bottom right of the eclipse window. For the older version(2019-06), I can install without any changes in preferences or some other sort of settings. I wonder what could cause this issue?
I have the same problem but it works via update site: http://editbox.sourceforge.net/updates
From Eclipse menu open: Help->Install New Software and paste the link.
I think the problem is with Editbox but I can't figure out what exactly is wrong (I'm the author of the plugin).

Missing parts of Help Menu - Eclipse Luna

I'm working in Eclipse Luna, after install Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) Help Menu shows with missing items. I'm attaching a screenshot
Missing items:
Also, I checked the Menu Visibility:
Check for updates
Install New Software..
Installation Details
and So on..
Any ideas?
Look in 'Window > Customize Perspective'. Select the 'Menu Visibility' tab and open the 'Help' section. You should be able to enable the missing menu items there.
I faced the same issue after updating STS based on Luna with OEPE,
It works back after deleting all Oracle related files from the plugins folder.
Then i did proper uninstall from market place.
Install Back OEPE but with only selecting
Oracle Java EE tool
Oracle Weblogic Server Tools
unchecked every thing else, this worked for me.
EDIT: ok, i've found the solution, first uninstall eclipse (in arch that would be pacman -Rcns eclipse) then head to ~/.eclipse/ you'll see that it kept gtk setting of previous version of eclipse delete all of it, then install eclipse again.

this isn't an answer but since my reputation is < 50, i'll post here
i have similar problem with Gere, i'm running manjaro linux, and eclipse luna 4.4.1.1 and while in Gere case the option is shown in Windows/Menu Visibility in my case it only shows
1. Welcome
2. Help Contents
3. Search
4. Dynamic Help
5. Tips and Tricks ...
6. About Eclipse
this is exactly the same as shown in Help menu
there are no option for update, nor to install new software
so apparently the problem wasnt in menu visibility as previously in kepler it was ok, the problem only occured after updating to luna, and removing+installing doesnt help
I had the very same problem with Eclipse Luna on my Debian.
I did a "mv ~/.eclipse ~/.eclipse-old" (for safety :) ), restart Eclipse and get the "install new software" menu back.
I then remove the ~/.eclipse-old directory
I had similar issue Gere. I went to eclipse/plugins folder, search everything with "oracle" and deleted them. Once I did that I restarted the Eclipse and voila I got back my eclipse. I hope this helps.

PyDev fails to install on Eclipse for Mac

I am attempting to install PyDev in Eclipse for Mac (OSX version 10.8.3). After installing PyDev I go to preferences to configure it for use, and it does not appear on the list. If I go back to help > install new software and click "What is already installed?" PyDev does not appear on the list. I have attempted reinstalling PyDev (many times), restarting Eclipse, restarting my Mac, and have searched for any problems similar to mine, but have come up with nothing. I have Python 3.3 installed, and also Python 2.6 (installed 2.6 when a guide told me 2.6 is the build used by the project).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a nice day!

I think I just solved the problem.
I tried to install PyDev, got a long way through to a dialog with a progress bar that seemed to be about the last step.
A dialog box asking me to approve a certificate popped up behind the progress-bar dialog, when it was about half-way along. I clicked OK and both dialogs immediately disappeared.
PyDev was not installed.
I did it again, but this time looked at the certificate dialog. You have to tick the certificate, and then click OK. Installation continued.
Now I have PyDev.
YMMV, good luck.

Pydev missing after upgrading Eclipse on FreeBSD

I recently updated my ports on my FreeBSD 9.0 release machine and I think eclipse was upgraded due to a port upstream forced Eclipse to be rebuilt. Now Pydev is gone. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling Eclipse, then installing Pydev using pydev.org/updates inside Eclipse. It appears to install ok but I can't create a Pydev project or use the Pydev view. I tried removing my ~/.eclipse folder to force the creation of a new one, and reinstalling Eclipse and Pydev to no avail. What am I doing wrong? I'm running Eclipse Indigo version 3.7.1 build id: R3_7_1
This question was most similar to mine, but the solution didn't work for me. I also tried pointing my install site as: http://update-production-pydev.s3.amazonaws.com/pydev/updates/site.xml per another question on StackOverflow, to no avail.
After some more testing I finally got the newest FreeBSD port to work. I had to launch and install the plugins as root. It didn't work another time I ran it but, this great troubleshooting document helped out. I methodically went through each step one by one, and the logs indicated there was an error on my /usr/local/lib file it was trying to unzip. My user doesn't have write access to that directory but root does. I don't know why it didn't work the last time I ran it as root, perhaps I didn't install the plug-in as root. It works now, so I'm happy. Thanks Fabio, for your input.
I'm not sure how FreeBSD packages things, so, maybe an easy way out would be getting Eclipse from Eclipse.org and installing PyDev on that fresh install (or if you're also doing web stuff, I'd suggest grabbing Aptana Studio 3, which comes with PyDev preinstalled, so, you don't have to worry about configuring it).
See: http://pydev.org/download.html for details

How to uninstall the sysdeo plugin

Had some strange errors, described here: lost in deployment: session.getAttribute() returns NULL in some Tomcat configurations and been advised to remove the SysDeo plugin.
Googled on how to remove plugins in Eclipse 3.6, found the plugin in Eclipse Installation Details, still looking for some "uninstall/remove" button. Or should I just remove the files from some of the eclipse sub-folders (contrary to what is written in Eclipse tutorials) and it'll work?
Thanks!
Help->About>Installation details->Installed software tab
Click on the software that you want to unistall and the "uninstall" button becames enabled. Click that button to uninstall the software.
EDIT: In your comment you say that you installed the plugin by dropping it in the "dropins" folder. Well, according to this, the way to uninstall it would be to just delete it from the "dropins" folder and restart Eclipse.
