Eclipse running on jaunty again
Posted on February 26th, 2009 by Luis Arias
I got a strange breakage with this morning’s updates to jaunty and finally tracked it down to an issue with xulrunner thanks to the comments on this post. So if you’re getting a blank dialog box on launching eclipse lately the short answer is,
append
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner
to the end of your eclipse.ini after having installed xulrunner.
Sehr gute Seite. Ich habe es zu den Favoriten.
Thanks, you saved my day!
It does not help here on my 64bit Jaunty… are you running 32 bit or 64? Which xulrunner versions do you have installed? I have xulrunner, xulrunner-1.9 and xulrunner-1.9.1… might that cause problems?
Hey Egon,
I’m running 32 bit jaunty, and actually I had this issue quite a while ago. I went back to the eclipse.ini setting and removed it and eclipse launched fine so I think this particular problem has been fixed (probably in xulrunner) since then.
Just for information, I only have the xulrunner-1.9 and xulrunner-1.9.1 packages installed.
Good luck with that !
Luis
