Broken Eclipse Menubar in Ubuntu 13.10

Bear Giles | December 18, 2013

The eclipse menubar in Ubuntu 13.10 is broken. It appears but it’s inert – you can’t pull down anything.

Fortunately there’s a simple fix. We only need to create one file and then load the app via Dash. The configuration below is for Spring Tool Suite and easily modified for other versions of eclipse.

/usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop
