start eclipse from xfce4 menu and from command line, difference?

Hi, anyone knows the difference between them? I've got strange behavior of eclipse when I start it from xfce4 menu. It hangs when I'm typing or using code completion. From command line or Alt+F2 are working as normal.

Thanks!

Additionally, I checked

/usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

The executable is the same as which I type on command line, both are

/usr/share/eclipse/eclipse

There may be a parameter passed when you start from the menu.  See if you can view the properties of the menu entry (I'm not running xfce, but I think there's a menu edit program; in gnome you can right-click on a menu entry and put it on the desktop, then view the properties from there).

Alright, I know the difference. It's the difference between

/usr/share/eclipse/eclipse

and

eclipse

But why?

I have the same problem. Eclipse works fine when I call it by typing "eclipse", but it hangs when i type "/usr/share/eclipse/eclipse".
