Issue/Introduction

BE Studio does not display properly in RHEL 7.

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.
