Hello,
Yes, the webkit
1 browser of Eclipse is notorious for crashing.
They're all similar, in that they have a similar crash log. g_context_main_iteration, for example in setVisible(). (There are various places where it crashes thou).
Crasher tracking bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509587
If you try to run the tests again, after 2-3 runs eventually it passes.
The solution is to switch over to Webkit
2, which runs webkit in a separate process. Currently the port is in progress:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=441568
As of yesterday, there are no more failing browser test cases when using Webkit2.
I'm working on getting Webkit2 to be stable enough so that it can be used as default, hopefully sometime in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, you could launch your eclipse with webkit2:
export SWT_WEBKIT2=1
./eclipse
(Let me know if you want to do this, I'll email you more info).
And at least the local tests would pass. (you do need to install webkitgtk4.x86_64 if you're on fedora). For hudson you'd have to re-trigger the test a few times until it succeeds.
Let me know if you have questions.
