Question

i have a problem with eclipse within ubuntu 10.04 (x86). i installed eclipse by downloading the zip-file, not from the sources. everything worked just fine until i decided to try eclipse 3.6 which i downloaded just as i did with 3.5...

well i saved 3.6 in another directory than 3.5, started it and opened a workspace that i created with 3.5. after working a bit with 3.6 i notices the following problem:

at some times, when i type sth like CLASSNAME. or VARIABLE. (that is when the code-completion dialog pops up), eclipse crashes, when i try to

close the code completion window (e.g. by pressing ESC)
select sth from the code completion window

or anything else. this problem did NOT occur within 3.5 at ANY time. well - switching back to the old 3.5 did not solve the problem. the crashes now happened also in this version :(

so i tried to:

delete the /home/USER/.eclipse dir
reinstall java from the sources
create a completely new workspace
tried the eclipse version from sources (3.5)

nothing helped :(

i m out of ideas... how do i get rid of this problem?

Answer 1

It looks like bug 308731, which is XulRunner related.

I confirm that the Steffen s solution works for me and it is necessary to set the property "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath".

I set:

-vmargs
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/bin/xulrunner-1.9.2

in my eclipse.ini

(crash when pressing Enter on content assist selection)

Answer 2

Add -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla at the end of your eclipse.ini file

It works for me :)
