If you open anything browser related with the latest version of XULRunner, Eclipse just tanks... You'll get errors like this... # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x03a9b1d7, pid=31555, tid=3078592192 # # JRE version: 6.0_22-b22 # Java VM: OpenJDK Client VM (20.0-b10 mixed mode linux-x86 ) # Derivative: IcedTea6 1.10 # Distribution: Fedora release 15 (Lovelock), package fedora-55.1.10.fc15-i386 # Problematic frame: # C [libxul.so+0xc841d7] NS_UTF16ToCString_P+0x1a326 # # An error report file with more information is saved as: # /home/zx/eclipses/eclipse/hs_err_pid31555.log # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please include # instructions how to reproduce the bug and visit: # http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla # The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code. # See problematic frame for where to report the bug. #

This is with XULRunner 2.0 btw... http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/2.0/
To reproduce, simply go to the preferences and select Browser, it will crash.
It shouldn't attempt to use XULRunner 2.0, are you doing anything to explicitly point at it (eg.- setting the org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath java property)? And if not, can you attach the crash log?

I hope those two logs help. To reproduce, have an updated xulrunner and just run the latest i-build. Go to Preferences->General->Browser and BOOM.

And if not, can you attach the crash log? Hmm, so what should it use instead if there is no other XULRunner version on the system? I am on F15 and there is only one XULRunner, v2.0. $ rpm -qa | grep xulrunner xulrunner-2.0-3.fc15.x86_64 Just wanted to point out that there is only XULRunner 2 on some systems :)
As of Eclipse 3.7 it should first attempt to use WebKitGTK.
It seems like it is doing something that causes XULRunner to be initialized and then it crashes. In Fedora, we patch eclipse to completely make XULRunner find nothing. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=eclipse.git;a=blob;f=eclipse-xpcom-h.patch;h=e2dfbc4030afb0b3c7723084a28975b763edcf1e;hb=HEAD
This will be a problem on any Linux distro that uses the latest XULRunner.
We'll soon have a Fedora 15 beta to investigate on.

I'm not sure if the problem occurs on Ubuntu, I'm 100% sure it occurs on the Fedora 15 beta with a vanilla Eclipse install (not the one we patch in yum).

Sorry for the noise.
Problem is reproducible on current Arch Linux too.

I just downgrade libwebkit 1.4 to 1.2.7 and everything it's working again. Because it's failing to load libwebkit 1.4 it's trying to fallback to libxul... But we known that eclipse it isn't compatible with the latest vesrion of xulrunner. That why we can see libxul in the crash report.

*** Bug 341250 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
There are two things happening here: 1. WebKitGTK 1.4 is not ABI-compatible with 1.2, so the initial attempt to use it is failing. This is fixed with the patch in comment 19, so SWT.NONE-style Browsers should no longer fall back to using Mozilla when WebKit 1.4 is present. 2. The eclipse launcher is setting MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to a directory with XULRunner-2.0, which is invalid. With the fix for #1 in place this case could still surface for Browsers created with style SWT.MOZILLA. The fix for this is in bug 344270 (marked as FIXED). The patch in comment 19 is applied to HEAD, so closing as fixed > 20110509.

I have this problem in Fedora 15, Eclipse Helios and JDK 6, eclipse crashes with Fatal Error when opening anything related to browser. The solution i found is to add in eclipse.ini the path to Xulrunner instalation, in Fedora 15, the new line in eclipse.ini should be like this: -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner-2/ Now it works. hth
This is NOT a solution. You are just preventing eclipse to crash. Eclipse recover the error when starting but anything related to browser will not work properly. The only solution is to use libwebkit BUT you must have libwebkit in version < 1.3 (1.2.7 it's working). This bug will not be fixed. In version 3.7 they just add the compatibility with libwebkit 1.4 and they make as default browser engine.
Fedora 15 only has webkitgtk 1.4, i couldn't find a safe option to downgrade the library to 1.2 without making the whole system unstable. I agree the eclipse.ini workaround is not the solution, but, until Eclipse 3.7 arrives, the eclipse.ini line help me to continue my work.
