I am having trouble getting them all to work together. I was able to get Ubuntu(Xenial Xerus 16.04) and Eclipse (Neon) working on the first level, but in trying to run the example robot Java Project from the New Project Wizard WPILIB Robot Java Development is where I get the first error.

Unhandled event loop exception
No more handles [Browser style SWT.MOZILLA and Java system property org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla are not supported with GTK 3 as XULRunner is not ported for GTK 3 yet]

Any thoughts.. Mozilla is not supported?

I am sure that I will have many more errors to come, but have to tackle them one at a time.

Does this help? http://stackoverflow.com/a/37609539 (I googled your error)

Please start eclipse in GTK2 mode [...] you can do this by

export SWT_GTK3=0

or [in eclipse.ini before -vmargs]

-launcher.GTK_version 2
