Eclipse Galileo in Ubuntu Karmic – needs hack

Upgrade to Karmic, error 1:

Couldn’t find/replace strings. Replace button wouldn’t do anything.The fix?

Create an sh script with the contents:

export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
/opt/eclipse/eclipse

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

And use that script as the startup program to boot eclipse.

    It works perfectly.
    Thank you so much.
    It’s pretty sad that we need such a thing at this point of release number and after a lot of years of “development”.
    Also, before this script I wasn’t able to create a New Project or do a Checkout, due to the dummy “Finish” button.
    Cheers!
