I am working on an Eclipse project. Some of its SWT control is not working properly in Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04.

I found by searching online that this issue is because of the latest GTK versions. The fix is executing the following command before starting the application via terminal export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true.

This worked for all of my colleagues but not my machine (Ubuntu 14.04). Why did it fail and how can I fix it?

I also had this problem. Normaly, it is solved (for me in Ubuntu 16.10) by

--launcher.GTK_version
2

before

--launcher.appendVmargs
