Answer 1

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"
• Bug report 1208019: "Eclipse menus doesn't show up in Saucy".

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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