Public bug reported: Since upgrade of ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10 a self installed installation of Eclipse Kepler still shows the menu bar, but clicking on it does not show the menu. This makes Eclipse useless since there are common actions that can not be activated otherwise.
I found a workaround at askubuntu.com, http://askubuntu.com/a/363237/128851. I start eclipse from the shell with "UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 ~/opt/eclipse/eclipse" which repairs the menu for me.
