This can be seen as a sort of follow-up of my previous post,
Eclipse internal Web Browser in Ubuntu Lucid: after installing Kubuntu Precise Pangolin 12.04 the internal browser of Eclipse stopped working. In particular, when using Mylyn Gerrit connector (relying on OpenID authentication, which requires the eclipse internal browser) I got this error
org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to execute runnable (org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)])
and indeed, by looking at the preferences corresponding to the Web browser I cannot select the internal browser:
Last time, I had solved this problem by installing the
xulrunner package, but, sad to hear, this package
has been dropped since Oneiric!
Fortunately, we can rely on another package:
sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
and you'll enjoy Eclipse internal web browser again! :)
This solved my problem, with Apache Maven Doxia IDE, which uses internal browser too
ReplyDeleteThaks a lot, you saved my day!
Thank you, that plainly worked for me.
ReplyDeleteUsing Eclipse Juno using the StatET plugin under Ubuntu 12.04 , eclipse crashed when the "R Help" tab was accessed. Installing a custom xulrunner, as adviced elsewhere made it worse, it crashed soon after starting. Setting environment variables "MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME" doesnt helped either.
Simply installing the library in the precise version mentioned made it work mysteriously.
I was looking a long time to fix the content assist problem in Eclipse PDT on Ubuntu 12.04.
ReplyDeleteThis actually did the trick.
