Hello,

3.8.1-8 migrated to testing almost two weeks ago and we haven't seen
other reports about this error yet. On my system the latest version
works as expected.

What happens if you start with a clean workspace? Please backup your
existing workspace and the hidden .eclipse directory in your home
directory before doing that, upgrade to 3.8.1-8 again and report back if
this solves your issue.

Do you have any external plugins installed that are not part of any
Debian package?

Regards,

Markus
