Works for me.

I haven't been able to reproduce it, either, but others on the forum have: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=177983

I'm experiencing this issue as well - even after upgrading to eclipse 4.3.2-2.
Comment by Linus Probert (LiquidityC) - Wednesday, 05 March 2014, 20:48 GMT
Clarification. Crash is caused when javadoc is displayed. For example hovering a java class with mouse or using autocompletion (ctrl + space).
Comment by Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) - Wednesday, 05 March 2014, 22:56 GMT
Still works for me - javadoc popups and the help browser both work.

With the webkitgtk2-2.2.5 update, Eclipse intermittently started crashing every 4-5 minutes, especially when performing remote debugging. As soon as I downgraded to previous webkitgtk2-1.10.2-8, issues disappeared. Related post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1388898

I have the issue also with Eclipse downloaded from upstream. Downgrading webkitgtk2 permits at least to set using of external browser (with last webkitgtk2 crash takes place - 100% reproducible at my case - in browser settings dialog from Eclipse preferences also, not only in editor). With webkitgtk2 1.10.2-8 I also have got a crash with internal browser selected. Will further test with external one.

Adding

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

to eclipse.ini has been a workaround. Those of you who aren't having this problem might have something similar already configured in your eclipse.ini or eclipse on your setups is automatically choosing some other lib to render html.
Comment by Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) - Thursday, 06 March 2014, 15:23 GMT
Here, it's definitely using the WebKit renderer. Setting the above option breaks the internal browser and forces all pages to be opened in Firefox, which I guess is because the Mozilla Binding plugin which provides the Xulrunner bridge is not installed. The default installation only ships the WebKit plugin.

Is your Eclipse loading both the Xulrunner and the WebKit libraries, even if only the latter are used? Libxul is linked against GStreamer 0.10 and webkitgtk is linked against GStreamer 1.0, which will cause crashes if both are loaded.
Comment by Andrew Gaydenko (student975) - Thursday, 06 March 2014, 15:40 GMT
I haven't xulrunner package installed, but google-talkplugin creates links to own libs:

~ $ sudo pacman -Qo /usr/lib/xulrunner
/usr/lib/xulrunner is owned by google-talkplugin 5.1.5.0-1

Could this be GPU related? webkitgtk2-2.2.5 crashes workstation at home (ATI GPU), but works fine at office (Nvidia GPU) using the same eclipse, plugins and source code versions.
Comment by Linus Probert (LiquidityC) - Tuesday, 11 March 2014, 12:41 GMT
Come to think of it I have a similar scenario. Works at home (nvidia), gives trouble at work (intel).
Comment by Andrew Gaydenko (student975) - Tuesday, 11 March 2014, 12:57 GMT
I have a crash using proprietary nvidia driver.
Comment by Saad Malik (SimFox3) - Tuesday, 11 March 2014, 16:32 GMT
Sony Vaio laptop with integrated Intel chip set, but it still crashes.

I can reproduce this too. Downgrading from 2.2.5-2 to 1.10.2-8 makes eclipse stable again. Using intel graphics.
Comment by Karol Babioch (johnpatcher) - Thursday, 13 March 2014, 13:10 GMT
Just another confirmation that downgrading 1.10.2-8 does solve this issue for me. I'm using nouveau. The crash didn't occur at the start iself, but mostly when some sort of auto completion was suggested, i.e. whenever the popup with suggestions appeared.

There seems to be a patch, though I haven't tested it yet: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129784

Applying the patch and trying to provoke the error within eclipse again. BRB.
Comment by Michael Berg (jk799) - Monday, 17 March 2014, 18:15 GMT
OK I got exited a litte too early. Eclipse crashes anyway. :(

Darn--I was hoping the patch would've fixed the issue.
Comment by Karol Babioch (johnpatcher) - Tuesday, 15 April 2014, 00:26 GMT
Eclipse appears to be stable for me again after having upgraded to GNOME 3.12 (which also included an upgrade of webkitgtk2 from 1.10.2-8 to 2.4.0-1). Maybe others can confirm this, so that the bug can be closed?
Comment by Jorge Merlino (Drencrom) - Tuesday, 15 April 2014, 03:49 GMT
In my case I solved it following the suggestions here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=334466#c37
I updated both googletalk plugin (from aur) and webkit and all works fine now.
I think the bug should be closed
Comment by Laël Guillemenot (zeppelinlg) - Thursday, 17 April 2014, 17:14 GMT
Looks good to me with :
webkitgtk-2.4.0-1-x86_64
webkitgtk2-2.4.0-1-x86_64
