I've purchased a Netbook for Android app development. I use Eclipse for this. It used to work great. Yesterday, I upgraded to 12.04 and everything works great, but Eclipse doesn't start anymore. It just shows a blank screen, which I can't click away.

I'm not really an extremely technical guy, But I really need this to work. And yes I've removed and re-installed eclipse.

Are you using portable eclipse or eclipse from repository? There are lots of weird issues with portable eclipse. I personally use eclipse from repository and it works great. – Call me V Apr 27 '12 at 14:56
I've got the same problem one two computers. With one I've used the Ubuntu Software Center and on the other I've downloaded the .deb file. Same problem :( – Vic V Apr 27 '12 at 15:00
Sorry, I haven't seen/had-to-fix this issue. You could try installing the PDE as well. I've got eclipse, eclipse-jdt, eclipse-pde, eclipse-platform, eclipse-platform-data, eclipse-rcp. I got them with eclipse and eclipse-pde. Everything else was dependencies. – Call me V Apr 27 '12 at 15:01
I thought it's kinda weird the question wasn't asked yet. Thanks though! I'll try installing it from a different source. Edit - Thanks! Checking it out right now. – Vic V Apr 27 '12 at 15:03

Ok, I found out the problem - should anyone recognize the above screenshot, the problem lies with dropbox sync across 11.10 and 12.04. It's unrelated to download locations.

Opening up a blank workspace and copying files there solves the problem.
