Sebastián, which eclipse.desktop file did you modify? The one from the Ubuntu Eclipse package or did you create your own? Ubuntu only packages Eclipse 3.8 so if you want to use kepler (4.3), you have to download, extract it manually (from the sound of it you already did that) then you need to create your own .desktop file that points to the executable, with the same menu workaround. You can drag that new .desktop file to the launcher.
The splash screen I believe got fixed recently in the upcoming version 4.4 because it looks fine with the latest build for me but not earlier versions. I'll poke around to see if the fix can be backported to the 4.3 stream but this is a bit off-topic... I think a good temporary solution for the menu would be to fix the blacklist so Eclipse is blacklisted again at the "program name" level so that both the Ubuntu package and the eclipse.org packages have a working menu again. But from what I understand of the problem, it would only workaround the issue for Eclipse products that have "eclipse" or "Eclipse" has the executable name and not the other products that have a different executable name (Aptana? Dart?). Still, that would mean most people won't have to apply a workaround manually which is a big win IMO. I just need a few spare hours to verify all this and push a fix ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eclipse in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208019 Title: Eclipse menus doesn't show up in Saucy Status in “eclipse” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-gtk-module” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: **************** HOW TO REPRODUCE **************** 1.
