Recently to upgrade their Ubuntu from 14.04LTS to 16.04LTS, suddenly found that eclipse does not work properly, to the official website of Ubuntu turned around to find the following solutions:

Symptoms:

[1] Eclipse startup is slow;

[2] Eclipse Menu does not eject

[3] Eclipse is running super slow

Eclipse Version: Mars

Ubuntu version 16.04LTS

Workaround:

1) in console, change the environment variableSWT_GTK3

Export swt_gtk3=0

2) Try to start Eclipse in the console using the command line. Note that please do not add any parameters.

CD <<eclipseHomepath>>
./eclipse

3) If the previous step succeeds and the eclipse work is back to normal, the following method is valid for you. If the problem is not resolved ..... Please take a detour ....

4) Close Eclipse and modify the configuration file Eclipse.ini.

Locate the --launcher.appendvmargs line and insert the following settings in front of it:
