Where did you get eclipse 3.4 from?

 status incomplete

Downloaded from

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/

(Linux, 32bit)

I also tried RC2, which does have the same problem with 1.9~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~8.04.2.

[Andreas Schildbach (schildbach)]

I played around with installing xulrunner 1.8.1.13+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 [universe] and setting "-vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner/xulrunner" in eclipse.ini, and that cured the problem. Strangely, when I reverted the changes, thinks continue to work - which means that I currently cannot reproduce the bug any more.

I am suspecting that my Eclipse installation was not adapted to the new xulrunner directory, which was changed from /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9b5 to /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.

Please file that bug on eclipse side. its unsure how they attempt to
build a cross-distro library for this. if you know more feel free to
ping me on irc (#ubuntu-mozillateam)
