I've been stuck on Neon for a while at work because Oxygen builds would just immediately die on my for GTK errors. So I decided to go even newer. To my surprise - Photon and 2018-9 actually launch! But soon after, I can't even open Java files.

Searched the interwebs. Every single hit mentions adding the following lines to the eclipse.ini file - NONE of them work for me.

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

Photon DIES
2018-8 DIES

Neon works - but I'd like to be more than 2 years out of date.

***WARNING: SWT requires Cairo 1.9.4 or newer
***WARNING: Detected: 1.8.8

I CAN'T install packages on company linux machines, so it's not like I can go upgrade packages on machines I'm not allowed to administrate.

What fixes this? none of the solutions I've found actually work.

Search the forum and got sent to the C/C++ with one hit. Weird.

Here's my GTK configuration information (see how those vmargs actually made it into my config?)

org.eclipse.swt.internal.gdk.backend=x11
org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false
org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.theme=Slider
org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.useCairo=false
org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.version=2.24.23

Well FWIW, Oxygen.3 seems to work on my system. This might be the last version of Eclipse I can ever use without having a battle with IT support. That sux.

Support for GTK2 was dropped as of 2018-12:

I believe there were just too many problems with the 2.x support, perhaps the kind of problems you are seeing. It doesn't seem unreasonable that your IT support should provide support for a modern version of GTK; that will become necessary at some point...
