Hello everyone!
As some of you may know, Eclipse Luna appears to be broken for users of Kali Linux. There is a simple fix for that
Assuming that you have installed Eclipse Luna
locate eclipse.ini
sudo nano eclipse.ini
add the following 2 lines before --launcher.appendVmargs
--launcher.GTK_version
2
press ctrl + x
then press y
and finally press Enter
That should fix it and you should be able to run eclipse.
Now, next thing to do is we want to include Eclipse in Applications Menu for easier access or for dock users(like me on xfce) we can dock Eclipse.
sudo nano /usr/share/app-install/desktop/eclipse.desktop
//if this file does not exist on your system, just make an empty file and copy the content
paste this inside and FIX Icon and Exec
to match your path!
[Desktop Entry]
X-AppInstall-Package=eclipse-platform
X-AppInstall-Popcon=1699
X-AppInstall-Section=main
Type=Application
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse Integrated Development Environment
Icon=/home/Slavi/Development/eclipse/icon.xpm
Exec=/home/Slavi/Development/eclipse/eclipse
Terminal=false
Categories=Application;Development;IDE;Java;
X-AppInstall-Architectures=amd64,armel,armhf,i386,ia64,mips,mipsel,powerpc,sparc
press ctrl + x
then press y
and finally press Enter
next step is to copy this file to the applications location, and it will automatically pop up in the Applications Menusudo cp eclipse.desktop /usr/share/applications/
There you go, this process can be repeared with software such as Teamspeak 3 to add it to Applications Menu, though note that Icon and Exec have to be changed to match your desired application
