[JPTTEST <j-p-t@xxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

Especially when clicking buttons Eclipse crashes.

This is regardless of 
- the Java version (tried openjava 7 and oracle java 7)
- the eclipse version (tried the ubuntu delivered 3.8 and 4.4 download from eclipse.org)

They say the cause is that eclipse loads a mix of GTK2 and GTK3 libs.
(cannot find the source now)

Solution: simply add the env var 
export SWT_GTK3=1


Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

Package: eclipse
Architecture: all
Version: 3.8.1-5.1

** Affects: eclipse (Ubuntu)
