[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Why I can't run Eclipse3.4 on Fedora9?

[Snjezana Peco <snjeza.peco@xxxxxxxxx>]

I suppose that you have a problem with Firefox 3.
You can try the following:

- remove Firefox 3 or install a newer version
- add the VM argument -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/dev/null 
 when starting eclipse

You can also take a look at this comment:
