Eclipse menu drop down option is not working

Question

None of the options are displayed on the menu bar i mean the drop down option. I have tried reinstalling Eclipse but nothing is helping. I have the same problem in Aptana Studio 3. I am working in Ubuntu ENV

If this is Ubuntu 13.10 see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19452390/menus-dont-show-up-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-13-10 — greg-449, Oct 20 '13 at 17:11

You can disable the global menu for eclipse, for this you need add UBUNTU_MENUPROXY parameter with an empty or zero value in the launch command, like this:

$ env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /home/USERNAME/path-to-eclipse/eclipse

Try installing older or newer version of those applications. It might have bug issues on the os that you are working on. Thanks!

Note: on Ubuntu 14.04 and latest Eclipse, this bug is supposedly fixed, as mentioned in:

Lars Vogel's blog post "Eclipse and the Ubuntu team working together – Solving the Eclipse menu issue under Ubuntu"
