[Irios <nachodelosrios@xxxxxxxxx>]

The packages for Eclipse Galileo that are in Ubuntu's repositories
(3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu1) do crash in Ubuntu, but do run in Kubuntu.

An example (that is not the only way of making Eclipse crash in Ubuntu
in this way):

On Kubuntu:

Install Eclipse with K package manager or whatever.
Launch Eclipse
Click "Help" - "Install new software"
Setup Galileo repo
Select section "Programming Languages"
Select "Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools"
Click "Next" (Eclipse calculates dependencies, then shows you the packages you are going to install)
Click "Finish" (Eclipse downloads and installs CDT).

On Ubuntu:

Install Eclipse with Synaptic.
Launch Eclipse
Click "Help" - "Install new software"
Setup Galileo repo
Select section "Programming Languages"
Select "Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools"
Click "Next" (Eclipse calculates dependencies, then shows you the packages you are going to install)
Click "Finish" (Eclipse crashes and disappears).

If on Ubuntu Eclipse was launched from a console, at the moment it
crashes you get this console output:

   #

   #

   # The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.
   # See problematic frame for where to report the bug.
   #
   Aborted

Pixie dust recipes that did not work:

* Install clean download from eclipse.org (same behavior)
* setting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before launching Ubuntu repo or eclipse.org version (same behavior)

I insist: It DOES work OK in Kubuntu.

Note it is the same with Sun's Java:

Seems to be the bug in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522187 , but for the bug opener, the problem seems to be gone.
Please tell me if you need more information.
