Details

Description:
Eclipse crashes for me whenever I try to use it's code completion feature.
I believe it's due to the xulrunner update.
Maybe eclipse needs a rebuild?

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Eclipse 3.6.2-1

* config and/or log files etc.
Updated packages:
upgraded cairo (1.10.2-1 -> 1.10.2-2)
installed libnotify (0.7.1-1.1)
upgraded xulrunner (1.9.2.15-2 -> 2.0-1)
upgraded firefox (3.6.15-1 -> 4.0-1)
upgraded flashplugin (10.2.152.27-2 -> 10.2.153.1-1)
installed libsoup (2.32.2-1)
installed libwebkit (1.2.7-1)
upgraded libproxy (0.4.6-3 -> 0.4.6-4)
upgraded linux-firmware (20110201-1 -> 20110227-1)
upgraded openal (1.12.854-2 -> 1.13-1)
upgraded vlc (1.1.7-5 -> 1.1.7-6)

Eclipse's crash log says:
-snip-
# Problematic frame:
# C [libxul.so+0xc395a5]
-snip-

I attached a part of the crash log.


Steps to reproduce:
Try to use Eclipse's code completion (in a Java project type "System." and press CTRL+Space).

PS: I won't have access to my computer until Sunday, so if you need more information you may have to wait until then (sorry for that).

Seems that eclipse isn't compatible with xulrunner 2.0, see ubuntu changelog:

downgrading xulrunner to 1.9.2.15-2 solves the problem, if you are not using firefox 4
Comment by Maxwell Draven (Ravenman) - Wednesday, 23 March 2011, 13:58 GMT
I have this issue too, I'm using Firefox 4.0 in my machine. What can I do? (Downgrade isn't a valid choice for me).

somebody posted a solution in the forums:

in /usr/share/eclipse/eclipse.ini add this following line

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true

@Wonder: Thanks by your help but didn't works for me. The console shows this:

You need to add the following line to eclipse.ini

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath==/usr/lib/xulrunner-2.0/

Save, and the crashes will go away.

@Ayr0 Thank you very much, the workaround worked for me and the crashes gone away.

I have created a bug report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=340998
The right solution (for me) is using : -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true
If I use -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath==/usr/lib/xulrunner-2.0/ it doesn't crash, but the documentation looks ugly.

Hi,

Just updated yesterday, went from xulrunner-1.9.2 to xulrunner-2.0, FireFox became FireFox 4.
I use Eclipse Helios 3.6.2-1.

Symptoms : hovering over a Class name should produce a yellow-ish popup with package info. Eclipse crashes there.
Tried
- running from the console with "-debug" as parameter but there is nothing right after the crash, a lot before, nothing after. (cannot find eclipse.log - did a system seek)
- forcing eclipse to use the old xulrunner with "- Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath==/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2/" (tnx ayr0) but that failed, as well as the original setting -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath==/usr/lib/xulrunner-2.0/
- tried this line too : -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true without any luck...

Occasiolnally this is what I do get:

[CODE]** (bug-buddy:9290): CRITICAL **: Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:[/CODE]

Sorry I cannot give any feedback, dont know where these logs are...not where they _should_ be anyway.

Hoping for a solution

Thor
PS : this is my first bug report, I hope to have followed the guidelines somewhat...
EDIT : @ Benjamin Robin : I read the bug report you entered and applied the command line that worked for you, where you force elcipse to use the "proper" xulrunner - this workaround seems to work for me too, thanks for this invaluable help!
Comment by Benjamin Robin (benjarobin) - Wednesday, 30 March 2011, 08:45 GMT
To run eclipse with WebKit, you need to install webkit :) => pacman -S libwebkit
Then start eclipse this way: eclipse -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true
Or just add: -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true at the end of this file: /usr/share/eclipse/eclipse.ini

Adding "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true" also fixed my problem.
Comment by pete (drg006) - Monday, 23 May 2011, 16:45 GMT
I'm seeing this problem again but the work-around (-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true) is no longer working.

Work-around: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so /usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2

Did you read the official bug report : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=340998 and/or https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=343454 ?
Eclipse is not compatiible with xulrunner 2 and libwebkit > 1.3
The workaround for now is to install old libwebkit (1.2.7)
Comment by Mehmet Ozgur Bayhan (matafleur) - Sunday, 12 June 2011, 10:11 GMT
Is there any chance to merge xulrunner version like python 2.x and 3.x?

I use a workaround solution with xulrunner 1.9.x and firefox4 with static libraries.But it is not a good solution like all above posts over here.
Comment by Benjamin Robin (benjarobin) - Sunday, 12 June 2011, 14:31 GMT
The only right solution is to install eclipse 3.7 (It's stable and in version RC)
I personnaly use an other solution : Copy the lib of libwebkit 1.2.7 into /usr/lib/ but I will upgrade to 3.7 soon.
Comment by Mehmet Ozgur Bayhan (matafleur) - Sunday, 12 June 2011, 15:52 GMT
Not right so much.Some plugins for eclipse still needs 3.4 3.5 or 3.6.So somebody still needs older versions of eclipse(especially j2ee users).Newer is the best is not true everytime.
