Ubuntu – Eclipse/PyDev not showing up correctly

12.04dockeclipselauncher

I recently installed Eclipse from the Software Center in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and then setup PyDev from there. The application itself seems to be working okay, but its launcher icon shows no carets or other indication that it is already running. Also, Eclipse does not show up when I hit 'alt+tab' to cycle between open applications. It does show up when I hit 'super+tab', though.

Any ideas?

Unity may still have problems with Java applications like:

  • Open/LibreOffice
  • IntelliJ idea
  • eclipse
  • rssowl

especially when switching window-hints and floating tool bars are involved. It might help to try another, more standards-conforming window manager, like xfwm4 or metacity.
