After fiddling with all sorts of settings according to
eclipse/readme/readme_eclipse.html, which in turn points to
ttp://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserplatforms where some information on
browser integration is given:
Q: Which platforms support the SWT Browser?
A: The SWT Browser is currently available on the following platforms:
1. Windows (Internet Explorer 5 and above)
2. Mac (Panther OS X 10.3 and above. Safari-based)
3. Linux GTK and Linux Motif (XULRunner-1.8.0.1 and above, Firefox 1.0
and above, Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 and above)
The following Linux distributions meet the Mozilla/Firefox
requirements for using the Browser widget:
* RedHat Enterprise Linux 3
* SuSE 9
Older Linux distributions may require a supported version of Mozilla
to be installed. (instructions)
4. Photon
Q: What do I need to run the SWT Browser inside Eclipse on Linux/GTK or
Linux/Motif?
A: You need one of the following:
* Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 - 1.6 GTK2 can be used with Eclipse 3.0 and newer.
* Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 - 1.7.8 GTK2 can be used with Eclipse 3.1 and newer.
* Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 - 1.7.12 GTK2 can be used with Eclipse 3.2 and
newer.
* Firefox can be used with Eclipse 3.1 and newer (Linux only), provided
that it has been compiled with linkable Gecko libraries. It is important to
note that Firefox downloads from mozilla.org currently do not satisfy this
criteria, but Firefox installations that are included in major Linux
distributions often do in the absence of a XULRunner installation. Attempting
to use a statically-linked Firefox install will display the error message "No
more handles [NS_InitEmbedding...error -2147221164]".
* XULRunner 1.8.0.1 - 1.8.1.x can be used with Eclipse 3.3 and newer
The version of Mozilla or Firefox installed on your system varies with your
Linux distribution.
The following Linux distributions meet the Mozilla requirements for using
the Browser widget.
* RedHat Enterprise Linux 3
* Suse 9
The following Linux distributions meet the Firefox requirements for using
the Browser widget.
* RedHat Enterprise Linux 4
Note that you may need to set the environment variable
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to the folder containing your Firefox install. e.g. setenv
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4
it turns out, that when running eclipse as root the problem from comment #0 is
gone completely.
