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: !STACK java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:424) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:626) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:584) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1438) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1414) `eclipse`, `eclipse-jdt` and `eclipse-platform` are all version 3.8.1-11.
