The root cause of problem reported here is the incompatible glib version. This problem would not appear in Kubuntu 15.10. We found that the only version which is affected is Debian Wheezy and Jessie is around the corner so we decided not to fix this. The fix requires setting up of eclipse build system on Debian wheezy. Since the Debian wheezy is quite old and next version is around the corner we decided as not to proceed with the fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eclipse in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1379431 Title: Eclipse crashes very often because of problems with GTK Status in Eclipse: Won't Fix Status in eclipse package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Especially when clicking buttons Eclipse crashes. This is regardless of - the Java version (tried openjava 7 and oracle java 7) - the eclipse version (tried the ubuntu delivered 3.8 and 4.4 download from eclipse.org) They say the cause is that eclipse loads a mix of GTK2 and GTK3 libs.
