Build ID: Mars RC1 jee-package

When launching Eclipse on Ubuntu 12.04.5 64-bit with the "metacity" window manager, I see multiple warnings like the following printed on the console where I had started the window manager:

Window manager warning: Window 0x1800007 (Eclipse ) sets an MWM hint indicating it isn't resizable, but sets min size 452 x 302 and max size 2147483647 x 2147483647; this doesn't make much sense


It's only cosmetic it seems but still doesn't look professional (along the "Every Detail Matters for Mars" lines).

I guess this belongs to SWT?

I can't reproduce such warnings, and Ubuntu 12.04 is quite an old version. Please repoen this ticket if you can reproduce the issue on 4.9/4.10 in a supported target environment.
