Hello, I am using the eclipse platform for my current work, I'm using it to program an embedded system, the manufacturer of the embedded system supplied an development environment to be run in windows based on CoLinux, this is an emulated Linux, and the eclipse that came with that CoLinux had a customized menu and compiler to work with the embedded system. It happens that the Colinux environment they offered is only compatible with windows XP professional, and I tried to make it work with windows XP professional but it didn't worked, so I extracted the eclipse and crosstools folders, and copied to a Fedora 13 partition, and run the eclipse environment from there, and it worked fine. But now I have to put the development environment to work in computers with Fedora 14 and tried the same process to install the Eclipse customized for my embedded system, but I'm getting a fatal error when I start eclipse.
The "eclipse" and "crosstools" folders are placed in /opt, and the error I'm getting is reported in the end of the message. Thanks very much for reading and helping me, this problem is very important for me because is my job, and I'm stuck because already tried to make updates to IcedTea and searched the internet and couldn't solve the problem!!

[DavidQ@DavidQ eclipse]$ cd /opt/eclipse

[DavidQ@DavidQ eclipse]$ ./eclipse

You should be able to get eclipse to at least come up by adding the
following (without the quotes) to the end of your eclipse.ini file:
"-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/dev/null". This will disable
Browser functionality in Eclipse, but will work around the crash since this
appears to be the cause.

To get Eclipse to run without this workaround...

Firstly I notice that you're using OpenJDK. Can you download a jre from
either Oracle or IBM and see if it works any better for you? I don't know
that OpenJDK has a problem here, but it's just to eliminate one potential
culprit.

If the alternative jre fails for you in a similar way then the problem is
probably that swt is trying to use a xulrunner version that's newer than the
one supported by your eclipse. Fedora 14 is a very recent release, so you
need to use Eclipse 3.5.2 or newer to use Fedora's shipped XULRunner
1.9.2.x. If you're tied to using an older eclipse release then you'll need
to download an older xulrunner release and point eclipse at it. Info which
should be helpful:

http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserlinux
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#specifyxulrunner
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#printmozillapath
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#howdetectmozilla (an FYI)
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserwebkitgtk (I assume Fedora 14
offers WebKitGTK as an alternative)

If the above links do not help you with getting eclipse running then please
log a bug with swt at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform &component=SWT
and provide the full stack dump (the hs_* file).

HTH,
Grant

Hello, thanks very much for your time and support, I have just tried the first tip you suggested, and it worked, I would like to know, if I run Eclipse with that extra line in the eclipse.ini file, what are the limitations that the Eclipse environment has, and especially I would like to know if I just want to use Eclipse to compile C code and make debug on the target system if I'm likely to have any limitations/problems because of the browser disabling.

This really looks like a nice forum!, there are forums were most of the answers are crap talk, but that was a great help, thanks very much.

For what you describe you're probably fine to just run with this limitation.
Most of the places in Eclipse where the Browser is used already do provide
alternate implementations if a native browser is not available (eg.- the
Welcome screen, the Javadoc view). The only place in core Eclipse where a
missing Browser really impacts functionality is the WebBrowser view.

Since you're compiling C I assume you're also using CDT, which I've never
used, but I would guess would not be absolutely dependent on having a
Browser. Someone on eclipse.tools.cdt newsgroup could give you a more
definite answer if you want.
