Crash when run/debug web application with Eclipse/Tomcat

[Minh Le]

Description: Eclipse closes silenty when I start running/debugging a web application. In the console, I get this message:

Yet it also affects me. I am trying to run my project on a glassfish server. Just after deployment, eclipse crashes with the same fatal error.

Affects me too. Ubuntu 12.10 64bit version. Eclipse 4.2 Juno Fresh Install. Installed Tomcat7 created a Dynamic Web Project and started server and Eclipse crashed.

Check out this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=392967#c21. It is not a jdk. Problem with Eclipse. I have confirmed this by trying openjdk-6 and oracle java. Eclipse crashes in every case.

As a temporary solution, this worked for me.
Adding -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla to eclipse.ini
