had to reinstall eclipse on my laptop, i completely removed eclipse using synaptic, then reinstall eclipse

then eclipse would not start, crashed right away

i didn't track how many times i removed and reinstalled eclipse using synaptic and apt-get; googled tons of pages and wasted hours of trying this and that. the thing is, i have same setup on my desktop pc and it works!

finally dawned on me, in synaptic, use search on "eclipse" and remove all eclipse* PLUS libecj-java, libequinox*; reinstall and eclipse's working again.

just removing eclipse* without the 2 lib* messed up the reinstall.

maybe this will save someone some time.

This fixed it for me
sudo apt-get install libswt-gtk-3-jni libswt-gtk-3-java
sudo cp /usr/lib/jni/libswt-*3740.so ~/.swt/lib/linux/x86/
sudo chown MYUSERNAME. ~/.swt/lib/linux/x86/*
sudo chmod 755 ~/.swt/lib/linux/x86/*
