Recently I had to deal with an error during using Eclipse on my Ubuntu 13.10. When I clicked in Eclipse on any menu item there was nothing showed up. As far as I know this error is related with Unity graphical shell created for GNOME. One of the fix which I found is to run Eclipse with some extra additional parameters. I also created some shell script which will help to enjoy again a menu features in Eclipse.
#!/bin/bash # # Run Eclipse due to menu bug # eclipsepath="/home/user/Desktop/eclipse/eclipse" Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 $eclipsepath
Of course in this script you must edit eclipsepath variable value to path which really guides to eclipse. You can run script in terminal using ./eclipse.sh, but before doing that you must give executable permission to script using this command chmod +x eclipse.sh.
