I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 and, after the upgrade, my previous Eclipse Neon installation doesn't work anymore. If I launch it I see the splash screen, it disappears and then nothing else. On console and in log I don't receive any errors.

I tried adding SWT_GTK3=0 or SWT_GTK3=1 in the environments, removing -Dorg.eclipse.core.net.enableGnome option I had in command line, using default VM (I was using JDK 1.8.0) and in eclipse.ini the settings:

--launcher.GTK_version
2

but nothing works. I'm bound to this Eclipse version because it's the one adopted in my company. Any suggestion?

EDIT

Cleaning workspace as stated in the comment is a temporary solution. It's necessary to specify SWT_GTK3=0 to avoid workspace corruption in subsequent run.

I'm using Java 8 and I don't receive any errors, so they doesn't seems related. – nakis Jan 12 '19 at 16:09

I was able to open Eclipse again simply adding "-clean -clearPersistedState" options. – nakis Jan 14 '19 at 14:06
