It's a few weeks since I started eclipse but after trying to open it today, I get the 'no more handles' SWT error which I remember fixing before by setting SWT_FTK3-0.

Now I find that eclipse seems to be under snap which I am not familiar with. Furthermore there appear to be a /snap/eclipse/40, a /snap/eclipse/29 and a /snap/eclipse/current. I think 40 and current are the latest eclipse.

I think I want to edit either the eclipse.ini in 40 or current to have the lines

--launcher.GTK_version
2

but I don't seem to be able to do it. Can anyone please suggest how I can recover my eclipse?

I am running the latest ubuntu 18.04 and a couple of days ago 'livepatch' made some changes

I have seen this error when I start Ubuntu in the default gnome and Wayland. If I select unity from the gear icon, then eclipse will stat OK. I'm fairly certain that I started eclipse and checked for updates less than 2 weeks ago, so I wonder what has changed to break, such that I can't fix it?

UPDATE

I have managed to get eclipse started using an eclipse.ini in /etc. That file contains the reference to GTK version 2. I have done this with the command line from a terminal window

eclipse --launcher.ini /etc/eclipse.ini

However this produces the error

The Eclipse executable launcher no longer supports running with GTK
+2.x Continuing using GTK+3.x.

This leaves me with the "no more handles error" and I can't run eclipse.

  You have three version of eclipse: 29, 40 and current. Is current a symlink? I verified your PATH and there was no reference about eclipse binary. Have you created any symlink in /usr/local/bin/ that tracks the version you are using? Please check.
