Can anybody else confirm this as a workaround? 1) $ sudo apt-get install xulrunner 2) Append this to eclipse.ini
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner/xulrunner 3) $ ./eclipse -data `mktemp -d` 4) $ "Close the 'Welcome' tab" No crash. And my already configured projects work again as well. Via: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xulrunner-1.9/+bug/365526 Not that i have clue whats going on, but "-verbose:jni" showed me calls to mozilla stuff just before eclipse crashes, so i thought, maybe it has something to do with xulrunner and gave it a try. -- Eclipse crashes intermittently when interacting with the UI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
