Eclipse with GTK+ 2.18

Lately I noticed Eclipse having some issues such as not being able to confirm certain dialogs or press certain buttons. It made Eclipse extremely annoying to use. Before I found the relatively easy fix, I was reduced to clicking the button and the pressing enter to move past the screen, not exactly a desirable scenario to perform every 5 minutes if for example your exporting jars from Eclipse.

The fix is pretty easy, just add GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 to Eclipse’s launch script.

For example, here’s my launch script:

File: /usr/local/bin/eclipse

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/ken/eclipse && GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 exec ./eclipse $@
