How does Eclipse load /usr/lib64/IcedTeaPlugin.so ? [message #1225825]

I am new to Eclipse and minimal exposure to java.

I installed elipse-java-kepler-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz on opensuse 13.1 x86_64 and at first glance everything works out of the box using OpenJDK.

Eclipse was installed in : ~/eclipse

I further installed the latest sun jre in : ~/jdk1.7.0_45

To use the sun jdk I added to ~/eclipse/eclipse.ini :
-vm
/home/sysop/jdk1.7.0_45/jre/bin/java

I checked that eclipse was in fact loading the correct jre, but to my surprise found that eclipse was loading IcedTeaPlugin.so .

Snippet from lsof -p <eclipse_pid> :

java 20458 sysop mem REG 8,3 204280 1982165 /usr/lib64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
java 20458 sysop mem REG 8,4 2462878 4031751 /home/sysop/jdk1.7.0_45/jre/lib/resources.jar
java 20458 sysop mem REG 8,4 60439 4154912 /home/sysop/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.notifications.ui_1.1.1.v20130917-0100.jar

At the console when I run eclipse I get:

sysop@eris:~/eclipse> ./eclipse
java version "1.7.0_45"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.3) (suse-24.9.1-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)

As a shot in the dark I uninstalled IcedTea and re-launched eclipse which seemed to load with no immediately visible adverse effects and without displaying the above OpenJDK references.

Any help understanding what is going on appreciated.

Thanks

Whats the full content of the eclipse.ini file? What is shown when you run "/home/sysop/jdk1.7.0_45/jre/bin/java -version"? What is shown when you run "java -version"? Is there a /home/sysop/jdk1.7.0_45/bin/java (if so, use that)?

Thanks,

My configuration appears to be correct as illustrated by the process listing:

sysop 20905 0.0 5.5 4812064 446048 pts/2 Sl+ 19:35 0:24 /home/sysop/jdk1.7.0_45/bin/java -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms40m -Xmx512m -jar /home/sysop/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -showsplash /home/sysop/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.3.1.v20130911-1000/splash.bmp -launcher /home/sysop/eclipse/eclipse -name Eclipse --launcher.library /home/sysop/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20130807-1835/eclipse_1506.so -startup /home/sysop/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar --launcher.appendVmargs -exitdata 3b10009 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product -vm /home/sysop/jdk1.7.0_45/bin/java -vmargs -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms40m -Xmx512m -jar /home/sysop/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar
sysop 21047 0.0 0.0 10520 924 pts/3 S+ 19:37 0:00 grep --color=auto eclipse

This is further corroborated doing an lsof -p 20905.

Also, once Kepler loads, going to Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs, the only JRE I see is /home/sysop/jdk1.7.0_45 .

However, it appears that Eclipse is loading the sytem's supported web plugins as also illustrated by the lsof:

java 20905 sysop mem REG 8,3 19233136 1982416 /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
java 20905 sysop mem REG 8,3 62840 1982152 /usr/lib64/libbz2.so.1.0.6

java 20905 sysop mem REG 8,3 77632 1985840 /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libtotem-mully-plugin.so

java 20905 sysop mem REG 8,3 115504 1985867 /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/libtotem-gmp-plugin.so
java 20905 sysop mem REG 8,3 346160 1980192 /usr/lib64/libhunspell-1.3.so.0.0.0

So not exactly sure what I am looking at here. I have tried configuring within eclipse an external web browser thinking these may be being pulled in by the inbuilt browser functionality (?) but did not see any difference.

For completeness:

Note: switching between /home/sysop/jdk1.7.0_45/bin/java and /home/sysop/jdk1.7.0_45/jre/bin/java does not change any of the observed behaviour.

OK, so definitely IcedTea is being pulled in as a web plugin. Any help tracking where this is from and changing this behaviour (without system wide modifications) appreciated. The following eclipse strace snippet shows the modules being read. However as much as I like to google around, the likes of 'web', 'plugins', etc do not make spectacularly good keywords in this context.

<sigh />

These modules are in fact being pulled in by libwebkitgtk used by Eclipse's Internal Web Browser. Will see what I can do from that angle.

Thanks to anyone who may have scratched his head.
