Eclipse menu not working ubuntu 13.10

I downloaded eclipse on Ubuntu 13.10 and when i open eclipse you know that for all applications ubuntu show menu at top bar. Eclipse was also not exception.

However strange thing was i could not do anything with those links.

So i searched and found this bug

How to solve

Instead of clicking eclipse directly start it with following command

 UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= /home/jagat/development/tools/eclipse/eclipse

Where the path on right side is exact path where your eclipse is sitting.

This should bring menus back in eclipse like normal OS and it would work.

However i am still thinking why this did not work in Ubuntu
