I just upgraded to 16.04 from 14.04 LTS, and suddenly Eclipse won't start. Here's the Eclipse log file:

Anyone else encountered this?
Edit: upgrading to Eclipse 4.2 gives this error:

There seems to be a bunch of missing dependencies:
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.1.200.v20120913-144807/eclipse_1502.so which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.
It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"
(Eclipse:17614): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
I ran
sudo apt-get install unity-gtk-module-common:i386
but get this message:
Note, selecting 'unity-gtk-module-common' instead of 'unity-gtk-module-common:i386'
unity-gtk-module-common is already the newest version (0.0.0+15.04.20150118-0ubuntu2).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Trying to install overlay-scrollbar just says it's already the latest. Trying overlay-scrollbar:i386 gives this message:
Package overlay-scrollbar:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
I also tried downgrading Java to 1.7 using sudo update-java-alternatives
, which also doesn't remove the initial error
java -version
