Title:
Eclipse fails to start on fresh 18.04 installation
Status in eclipse package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in eclipse package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
I just installed 18.04 from today's March 10th desktop ISO in a VM
with all default settings. I proceeded to install Eclipse and build
tools with:
sudo apt-get install eclipse git build-essential
I then ran `eclipse` in a terminal from my home directory (launcher
icon behaves same way). I expected Eclipse to open, but instead I got
a popup saying:
An error has occurred. See the log file
/home/vidar/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.8_155965261/configuration/1520710304064.log
Meanwhile, the following messages are printed on stderr:
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m;
support was removed in 8.0
Gtk-Message: 11:31:25.572: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 11:31:25.619: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
The file it mentions contains:
!SESSION Sat Mar 10 11:31:44 PST 2018
------------------------------------------
!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.launcher 4 0 2018-03-10 11:31:44.078
!MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform:

`eclipse`, `eclipse-jdt` and `eclipse-platform` are all version
3.8.1-11. There are no pending updates after an `apt-get update &&
apt-get upgrade`. Installing libcanberra-gtk-module got rid of those
warnings, but the popup and error message remain.
