Description Hasan Ceylan CLA 2012-01-01 12:30:52 EST 
As I do Alt-Tab Eclipse 4.2 M4 is not available on the available applications.

If you accidently minimize then things get worse. There is no way to restore the application back and all you can do to kill it.

Regards,
Hasan Ceylan

I'm guessing you don't have this problem with 3.8 then.
Comment 2 Paul Webster CLA 2012-01-03 13:24:27 EST 
I can see it in ALT+TAB on RHEL 6.  SWT, is there something fundamentally different in Ubuntu?

I'm guessing that Unity has a different window manager ...

@Remy for 3.7.x I do not

@Paul are you using KDE or GNOME? AFAIK Unity window manager is based on GNOME(GTK)
Comment 4 Paul Webster CLA 2012-01-04 06:57:48 EST 
I'm using metacity and gnome/gtk as my desktop env.

I cannot reproduce this issue on my Ubuntu 17.10 VM.
