Eclipse Juno (4.2.1) crashes frequently after upgrading to Ubuntu12.10 from 12.04 (both 64bits)?

Solution 1:

After many many permutations of everything, including all the different JDKs, etc., etc. ..

This worked for me (Fedora19/64, ADT 4.3/SDK 22.x,OpenJDK 1.8, Opteron64): add this line to the eclipse.ini file:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

Apparently the tooltip bits launch different browsers at different times with "collisions", but restricting to mozilla only seems to do the trick

Solution 2:

I have similar problem with my Ubuntu 12.10 and Eclipse Juno 4.2.

So every now and then, when I switch between applications, my Eclipse crashes. It simply closes itself with some error screen with a lot's of gtk libs mentioned. I've got info screen that this crash report will be sent for further analysis.

Then I've search on the net, and found this bug report in eclipse: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382812

Following this bug, at the end you will find that it is confirmed on: Eclipse SDK 4.2.0

And it will be solved in Eclipse 4.3.

One of possible solution is to download latest Eclipse nightly buid, but I've switched back to Eclipse Indigo and will wait for official Eclipse 4.3

Solution 3:

Try to paste the following line inside configuration>config.ini

org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
