Fixing Eclipse in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala

The fix is relatively simple. Create a file in your home folder (or wherever you want) called eclipsefix.sh – open it and add the following lines:


export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
/opt/eclipse/eclipse


(where /opt/eclipse/eclipse is the location of your eclipse application file).
