Eclipse auto shutdowns when creating new project

  • 772

When I click finish on a new project in Eclipse which I installed with this command sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform. This popup window comes and no matter if I choose Yes or No it closes the application:

enter image description here

I have tried running eclipse from terminal so I can see what happends, but I'm not so good to find out the problem, but this is what I get:

jeggy@jeggy-Dell-System-XPS-L502X:~$ eclipse

That font error is because I'm running Kubuntu, and I get that error right away but I don't think it has anything to do with it closes when I create a new project. And if anyone is interested I posted the pid11475.log here. And as it says there try "ulimit -c unlimited", I have tried that but didn't change anything.

  1. I had the same issue as well on Kubuntu 14.10. I wasn't even able to change the theme under System Preferences -> Application Appearance because eclipse crashed as soon as I tried to click "Application Appearance".

    But editing the gtkrc file under /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/ as explained in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26436009/eclipse-luna-crashes-on-new-project-in-ubuntu finally did the trick. Change this line:

     GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 1

    to:

     GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 0

  2. I had the same issue and it turned out to be due to oxygen-gtk theme. After choosing a different gtk theme (QtCurve neither work), I've seen no more crashes. On KDE, you can change these settings on System Preferences -> Application Appearance -> GTK . Changing GTK2 theme is enough.
