After performing my morning routine (pacman -Syu) at work I noticed eclipse started crashing alot which it hasn't been doing before. Narrowed it down to the webkitgtk2 upgrade that had occured during the last upgrade.
Downgrading (2.2.5-2 => 1.10.2-8) solved the issue, and at the moment that is the only solution I am aware of. Anyone else got any lead on this?
I'm running AwesomeWM, no gnome or KDE packages installed. This issue might not occur if you are using a more "extensive" wm.

This happens on Gnome too. Not sure where to report this; would a rebuild of the eclipse package fix this?
Offline
Perhaps, I'll try a rebuild through ABS and see if that fixes the issue. Not sure it will though...
EDIT: Nope, totally didn't work

Actually, I don't expect it as the PKGBUILD simply fetches the jar from eclipse and doesn't really compile anything

I think this one will just have to wait for a new Eclipse package. Just have to ignore the webkitgtk2 upgrade until then I guess
Offline
New eclipse package arrived today which solves this issue, so I'm marking this one as solved.

Upgrading to the new eclipse (extra/eclipse 4.3.2-2) didn't solve the problem still had to downgrade webkitgtk2 to solve the issue.

Spoke too soon, tested properly again and milonimrod is right.

A temporary solution is to put
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
into eclipse.ini.
Offline
Sounds like this could use a bug ticket

I also have this issue. I can confirm that using -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla helps.
Offline
I am starting eclipse from console like this:
eclipse -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
and eclipse is still crashing
I am not able to find eclipse.ini, can you give me a path?
well, I am not able to downgrade webkitgtk because I have not older file in cache, can someone give me a link to download?
thanks

I am starting eclipse from console like this:
eclipse -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
The option must be added to eclipse.ini.
"I exist" is the best myth I know..
Offline
aha, I was trying to find eclipse.ini in home directory
but it is here: /usr/share/eclipse/eclipse.ini
looks that this helped, I will see what happen in time ...

Got this error again after last system upgrade, which updated webkitgtk2 from 2.4.5-1 to 2.4.6-2
The -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla workaround seems to solve the issue.
Offline
I got it too. But in my case it was the fact that eclipse upgraded to "Luna" and that replaced my old eclipse.ini file with a new one so I had to add the workaround into the new eclipse.ini file
Offline
- well, I am running eclipse luna for a while, no problems.
- I did check eclipse.ini and it is NOT contait this workaround.

pacman -Qs webkitgtk2
local/webkitgtk2 2.4.6-3

I still have the crash issue on my machine in eclipse when hovering 'String' or any other javadoc object. Workaround mentioned above removes the issue though
