[Bug 1552764] Re: Eclipse and SWT are very slow/hang on a fresh 16.04 install (gtk3/swt issue)

[demaniak]

The `export SWT_GTK3=0` trick seems to have sorted me out.

Jaspersoft Studio 6.3.1.final

LSB Version:	core-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:core-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch:security-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:security-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:	16.04
Codename:	xenial

Installing the plugin in Eclipse (Version: Neon.2 Release (4.6.2)) does
not help for me.

Bug description:
  I installed a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit from nightly build
  (2016-03-02).

  Eclipse Mars.2 (4.5.2) is often very slow / hangs, especially on start
  of actions (searching projects, importing them, search for updates,
  install plugins etc.

  Things I tried:
    * openjdk8 /oracle java 8
    * OS / CS nvidia driver
    * unity / gnome (metacity and compizz)
    * fresh workspace

  jvisualvm  shows that much cpu time is consumed by
  rg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._g_main_context_iteration[native] ...
