Eclipse 3.8 startup bar and ui configuration

I recently "upgraded" from Eclipse 3.7 to 3.8, and i miss the PROGRESS ON STARTUP and the ENHANCED STYLE TABS on the IDE.

Can anyone point where can i change these configs?

Checked the plugin_customization.ini on the following plugins:
org.eclipse.sdk_3.8.2.v201301310800
org.eclipse.platform_3.8.2.v201301310800

And found:
org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_TRADITIONAL_STYLE_TABS=false org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP=true

So, it's an Eclipse 3.8 BUG or i'm i missing something?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Turns out the eclipse.ini was the culprit.

    The INI from the 3.7 has side effects on 3.8!

    This cannot be present in 3.8 INI:

    org.eclipse.epp.package.rcp.product
