It’s look very fine and also work great but yesterday I’ve found a big problem for me and all developer that use Eclipse as preferred IDE.

The problem is that Eclipse Galileo doesn’t work right with the new version of gtk (gtk+ 2.18), and therefore all the Eclipse GUI is unusable.
In particular I’ve noted that click of mouse are not intercepted correctly and also some interface redraw (for example if I change perspective or move some bar) doesn’t work.

Now, this morning I’ve found the bug and also a workaround for the moment.
Just open a terminal, then give this command export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true and finally launch eclipse from the same terminal.

Open Source community it’s amazing!

Update
Now eclipse packaged in Ubuntu official repository work without above trick. Simply install eclipse 3.5.1-0ubuntu7 (or later) from the Ubuntu archive.
Eclipse version in the official eclipse site doesn’t work right yet. (See #28 in this bug for a complete explanation of this Eclipse bug)

Mylyn can be used with a lot of bug tracking tools and since i use Trac i’ve decided to link them together inside Eclipse.

I assume you have installed Trac on your local server, or on your Dreamhost account. To enable communication between Trac and Mylyn we have to install and enable the XmlRpcPlugin that you can download from trac-hacks.

After the download, copy your plugin on the system where Trac is installed. Uncompress the archive and go to the 0.10 folder if you have Trac 0.10 or trunk folder otherwise.

Now digit these commands:

chmod 755 -R *
python setup.py bdist_egg

Wait until the Python egg is created and then copy it into the plugins directory of your Trac environment. The egg file is in the dist directory created during the egg building.

Now go into your Admin account of your Trac web interface and go to Plugins page. You’ll see a TracXMLRPC 0.1 field. Clicking on it you’ll see some component. You have to enable these components as shown in the next figure.

Trac XMLRPC plugin components

Well we’ve almost done. Now we have to install Mylyn and Mylyn extras into Eclipse.

Start Eclipse and click on Help -> Software Updates. Click on the Availabe Software tab. Click on Add Site button and paste these two “repository”:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/e3.4

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/extras

Now select to install these features:

Mylyn Plugin

Wait until Eclipse asks you to restart to update changes and then you’ll be able to use Mylyn with your Trac environment.
