I use Eclipse Juno on fedora 18

Even after installing webkitgtk, webkitgtk-devel, webkitgtk3, webkitgtk3-devel, starting eclipse with command-line parameter -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=webkit, each time I want to preview a report that is created with BIRT, I get the following error:

Unhandled event loop exception
No more handles [Could not detect registered XULRunner to use]

I have added the following lines to eclips.ini:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=webkit
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true
# -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
# -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/bin/xulrunner

When commenting the first 2 of these lines and uncommenting the last ones, I get this error:

Unhandled event loop exception XPCOM error

I have read the SWT-faq and have seen that Browser instances should be created with SWT.WEBKIT but since I can't find where I should add this, I assume that this is an instruction for RCP-applications with a browser.

My question is how to use explicitly webkitgtk in Eclipse juno?

Thanks,
Ben
