[Bug 1205452] Re: Eclipse unusable in Kubuntu Saucy (almost immediate JVM segfault)

[Andreas Ntaflos]

"Same here." Freshly updated from Kubuntu 13.04 to Kubuntu 13.10.
Eclipse, or in my case Apache Directory Studio, which is basically
Eclipse, can't be started as the JVM segfaults after a few seconds.
Happens with both OpenJDK 7 and Oracle Java 7.

Changing GTK2 theme to Raleigh makes Eclipse (Apache Directory Studio)
start correctly, but this theme offends my sense of aesthetics :)

Title:
  Eclipse unusable in Kubuntu Saucy (almost immediate JVM segfault)

Status in “java-common” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Perform clean install of Kubuntu 13.10 amd64 from 2013-07-24 media.
  2. apt-get update; apt-get install eclipse
  3. Run eclipse, see "Workspace Launcher" window that suggests ~/workspace as a location
  4. Click OK.

  JVM segfaults; error log file contains

  # Problematic frame:
  # C  [libgobject-2.0.so.0+0x19838]  g_object_get_qdata+0x18

  This also occurs with saucy Eclipse on Oracle JRE 7u25, but I ensured
  that this occurs on a clean install with supported packages before
  submitting this bug report.
