BearfruitFixing Eclipse after the Firefox 3 rc1 update in Ubuntu 8.04
Posted June 10th, 2008 by matt
So you’re excited about the firefox 3 rc1 update in Ubuntu? It’s nice and speedy when using gmail but after updating eclipse stops working. It generates an error. The solution is easy, but here’s an example of the error message:
Exception in thread "Thread-1" org.eclipse.swt.SWTError:
No more handles (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-mozilla-gtk-3349 or
swt-mozilla-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3589)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:3481)
at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.create(Mozilla.java:323)
[a bunch trimmed]...
To solve it you simply
sudo apt-get install xulrunner
or
sudo apt-get install xulrunner-gnome-support
I found the solution at everflux but I don’t read German. The only part of the article I could make out was the error message and the apt-get command. :-)

I am glad that my little hint helped you out! In fact I had the trouble with “RSSowl” and not eclipse itself. (RSSowl is built with the eclipse rich client platform)
But the fix indeed helps if you upgrade firefox and try to run eclipse, too. Thanks for the credit :)
I should really start blogging in english…
Thank you
Hi,
Even though I am a developer, and come across many such issues, I never maintain record of them.
Just now I have realized how wrong I was. Your fix saved me lot of time. If I keep record of all issues I come across, it may be help full for others.
Thanks for opening my eyes ;)

Thank you so much I wested 1 week with this problem, I’m using MyEclipse. I even contacted them without way out.

Thanks!
Even though Eclipse itself was still working, I was getting the same error when trying to use the CheckStyle plugin.
Problem seems to be solved now. At least, the error has gone away.
Thanx
It worked for EPF 1.2.0.4 (Eclipse Process Framework) too, on Ubuntu 8.04 . Very, very thanks!!!
Thanks!
My CheckStyle plugin in Eclipse also have those errors but were now solved. Thanks again for this post!

Actually I ran into the same problem, and I found this site to be most helpful. If you search for this question “What do I need to run the SWT Browser inside Eclipse on Linux/GTK or Linux/Motif?” It describes the requirement for SWT and Browser to work properly on Linux
