I upgraded to Eclipse Neon on linux and now I have a problem with some of my views.

Namely, selecting them from window -> show view does nothing. No new window opens and seemingly nothing happens.

I tried all the default views from the menu. Not working: ant, declaration, error log, javadoc, outline, problems, progress, search, tasks, templates.

The rest of them work as expected, like console and type hierarchy. Opening them from the menu works and if I close them and select them again they open just fine.

What's going on? Is there a log file somewhere I could look at? I started eclipse from an xterm and saw no relevant output to stdout/stderr.

I know on some Linux flavor that GTK 2 works better than GTK 2 so
perhaps it's related to that. Perhaps it's work a try to add the two lines

--launcher.GTK_version
2

before the -vmargs in the eclipse.ini.

There is an Error Log view (which you say doesn't work either) which
shows what's in <workspace>/.metadata/.log.

If you run eclipse with -consoleLog, it should log to the terminal as well.

I ended up moving my workspace away and starting a fresh one. It works now, I can live with that.
