Question

I get a error like

Answer 1

This might happens if multiple Java instances have been installed. Run the following command -

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Then choose the correct java path and re-run the eclipse application.

Answer 2

The problem was that whenever navigating to any workitem on RTC, that error occurred and eclipse crashed. Basically the UI did not appear or half appeared. This was solved by adding the following to the last line in eclipse.ini:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false
