NOTE:

If you have worked with Eclipse + OpenJDK, it may has some errors when run Eclipse again, like ‘/home/ian/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/configuration/1111.log.’ When read this log, it sasy:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:
no swt-gtk-3740 in java.library.path
no swt-gtk in java.library.path
Can’t load library: /home/ian/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64/libswt-gtk-3740.so
Can’t load library: /home/ian/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64/libswt-gtk.so
…

You can fix this by following these steps: [ref: Exception in thread “main” java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library]

cd ~/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64ln -s /usr/lib/jni/* .

Then open Eclipse again to check it.
