So it looks as if I'll be looking for a new Java IDE for Linux.

The latest Eclipse 2026-03 absolutely refuses stay open on my Linux machine. I've tried a fresh new installation, a new workspace, updated Java to 25. Nothing it opens for a bit and suddenly closes. No error logs to be seen, absolutely reason that it just won't work. Also I can't even find a way to report the bug.

Anyone have any ideas?

This really sucks too, as I've been using Eclipse since I started working in Java. I'm so used to how it works.

Temporary workaround is to downgrade back to 2025-09, with a new workspace and I'll just have to move my projects over.

I would have assumed that it is shortly before June and the release of 2026-06 that I could update to 2026-03 and not have a problem. No idea what they did to break it on my system. I just know that I can't stay on this version forever.
