Eclipse GUI broken

After just updating to extra/eclipse-java (MARS) from eclipse(LUNA) my GUI is broken. 

OpenJDK was also updated:

openjdk version "1.8.0_51"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
 


Here are two screenshots:

As you can see, there are grey bars on the right and the bottom and no buttons get displayed (Like OK or CANCEL).


Does anyone have the same problem or a solution for this?

Re: Eclipse GUI broken

I have the same issue under plasma5 with kwin. Although not that bad. I am using gnome-breeze-git as gtk theme.
I still could not find out what is causing this.

Re: Eclipse GUI broken

you can try this workaround :

edit the file /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini,

and add these 2 lines before the line "--launcher.appendVmargs" :

--launcher.GTK_version
2

after this modification it's the version "2" of gtk launcher who will be used, the GUI will be much better and the background of tooltips will have a correct color

Thanks, my Eclipse looked completely off after the update. This worked perfectly.

Re: Eclipse GUI broken

Thank you. I had the same problem and your solution worked.

Can anyone explain why this was the case and if/when the problem will be fixed? Once there is a fix (how would I know?), I would like to undo the workaround.

Re: Eclipse GUI broken

@Wespe

GTK 3.16 broke c++/c themes (and they even break proper CSS themes all the time roll) , and the developers have not been very cooperative in keeping support. Resolution would be having your theme rewritten in CSS, which is not likely to happen for oxygen-gtk (if that's what you are using) View the following for a rundown of what happened https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735211 Other relevant threads: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195960
