I'm running Eclipse in an Ubuntu VM and when I go to Help -> Install New Software, the box that displays the updates is blank for any update site. It seems like it may be a SWT rendering issue with the VirtualBox display drivers, but I'm not sure. Has anyone else seen this?

• VirtualBox 4.1.16
• Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit
  • Kernel 3.2.0-24
• Virtual Box Guest Additions 4.1.16
• Eclipse 3.7.2

Answer 1

It turns out that one of the configuration files in the workspace .metadata folder was corrupt.
