Known issues

• Under Ubuntu/Xubuntu it was discovered that NullPointerException is shown when opening file from Project Explorer and clicking on file structure instead of file name. As a workaround open file by clicking on filename.
• Cannot delete library by right click of mouse in red.xml under Ubuntu/Mint. Use Delete key as workaround
• GTK3 seems to mess up with Eclipse under Linux. Force usage of GTK2 by executing command in terminal: export SWT_GTK3=0
