Eclipse/SWT/Embeded Browser Problem

I am having problems when using Eclipse SWT and Browser control.

Exception in thread "main" org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)]
	at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4308)
	at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.initMozilla(Mozilla.java:1826)
	at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.create(Mozilla.java:687)
	at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.<init>(Browser.java:99)
	at controller.EventViewComposite.<init>(EventViewComposite.java:169)
	at controller.EventManagementController.<init>(EventManagementController.java:36)
	at controller.MainController.<init>(MainController.java:69)
	at controller.MainController.main(MainController.java:134)

I believe this is a common problem. I tried installing `libwebkit3` then added

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true

to `/usr/share/eclipse/eclipse.ini`

But I still get the same error. Is the config even used?

Then I tried downloading `xulrunner1.9.2` from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ … /1.9.2.19/. Then added below to config (removing the webkit one)

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/home/jiewmeng/xulrunner/

Still fails with same error. How do I get SWT Browser to work? Just now in Ubuntu I simply installed `xulrunner` and it worked

I also posted sometime back in StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9695 … er-eclipse

Ok I got a solution at my StackOverflow question. It appears that this is a Arch Linux problem?

Edit: To get Google WindowBuilder Pro's copy of SWT's browser widgets working in Arch Linux, I created a VM and stepped through this process with the OP. I was able to reproduce the bug in both the 32- and 64-bit versions of Arch Linux.
It turns out Arch Linux's bindings for libwebkit were insufficient, so I went ahead and built xulrunner-1.9.2.19 from source. After a whole lot of necessary fixups, my make install version just works with Eclipse.
The next step, for anyone willing, is to report this to Arch Linux.
