The attached class is creating the menu items in question

I have a standalone SWT application.  The menu items are just completely inactive. When I click the menu bar, nothing happens. This includes both menus created with SWT.CASCADE and SWT.PUSH. This used to work.

If I click JUST ONCE in any Eclipse window, then the menus in my completely separate SWT application start working.  They continue working until I restart my application, after which I must click in Eclipse again.  How are my actions in the Eclipse application affecting my independent process.

I am running OSX El Capitan version 10.11.6.  

I am willing to upgrade to a new version of SWT but none of the maven repos I can fund seem to have a newer version for MacOS.

Sounds related to Bug 426062. Can you please try with a recent Eclipse/SWT version like Oxygen (4.7)? You can find the SWT downloads at the bottom of the page - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.7.1a-201710090410/

This sounds very similar to Bug 426062 which has been fixed in 4.4.2. Please reopen if you still see the problem with 4.4.2 or recent version of Eclipse?
