Description

After installing TIBCO BusinessEvents 5.4 Enterprise Edition, BE Studio does not display correctly. Here are some of the symptoms .

When something is selected in Project Explorer, the row is blacked out.
Details view is not shown. Have to resize to see the view.

Environment

TIBCO BusinessEvents 5.4.x RHEL 7.x

Resolution

This a known Eclipse bug.

Workaround Suggested :
1). One workaround was to use export SWT_GTK3=0

2). Another option is to add the following two lines in studio.ini file.
###

--launcher.GTK_version
2

###
The option --launcher.GTK_version needs to be used before --vmargs

For example:
####studio.ini####

-startup
$BE_HOME/eclipse-platform/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.100.v20150511-1540.jar
--launcher.GTK_version
2
--launcher.library

#################

Try to reinitialize the BE Studio plugins and run the following command:

change directory to {BE_HOME}/studio/eclipse
studio -clean -initialize
and then start Studio

A future version of BE will be integrated with updated Eclipse to have a real fix.
