eclipse,visualvm crashes with SIGSEGV in libsoup.2-4

[KorRaf]

I'm not sure wether this shouldn't be reported to eclipse, however this error occurred after upgrade to 13.04(from 12.10).
here is trace from coredump of eclipse4.2:
Core was generated by `/usr/bin/java -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -Dhelp.lucene.tokenizer=standard -'.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Marius Kjeldahl (marius-kjeldahl)]

Suggested workaround until the bug is fixed here:

https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD-7816

Essentially, start eclipse with "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla".

[Marius Kjeldahl (marius-kjeldahl)]

Sorry, in eclipse.ini, not command line. Not sure if it works (yet).

[Paul Hudlow (paul-hudlow)]

I just had the same (or a similar) problem using Eclipse on Ubuntu 14.04. I just got Eclipse installed and it was crashing very frequently. The suggested workaround seems to have worked.
