To solve this bug on the new release of Eclipse, most people use this solution. It works fine when I run Eclipse using terminal or from the default folder (/opt/eclipse/), but when I lock Eclipse to the launcher or create a .desktop file and open the file, it returns back to its default GTK.

My .desktop file is: 

[Desktop Entry]
Version=Mars
Name=Eclipse
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= eclipse
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Type=Application
Categories=IDE;Development

Note: on "Exec" I have also tried /opt/eclipse/eclipse but that has not solved my problem.

Here's a video for more description.

Try this: Make a script and put it in the "Exec=" line of the desktop file.

#!/bin/bash
export SWT_GTK3=0

I faced the same problem before. For some reason Eclipse creates a launcher icon on ~/.local/share/applications. so i edit the default Eclipse .desktop file:

  1. gedit ~/.local/share/applications/eclipse.desktop.
  2. in the line of Exec i comment the line.
  3. and write /opt/eclipse/eclipse.enter image description here
