Description Robin Green 2005-05-20 14:08:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME is not set, so the embedded browser widget fails to start

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.18

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In eclipse, create a file called "test.html"
  
Actual results:
Eclipse says: "Embedded browser not available" and offers to "open file using
the system editor". The detailed error message is:

org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [Unknown mozilla path
(MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)]

Expected results:
Should use mozilla or firefox for the embedded browser widget

Additional info:
I am currently running eclipse on Sun JDK 1.5, but I don't think that should
make a difference, because MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME would not be set whichever VM you use.

Suggested fix: Add the following to /usr/bin/eclipse:

if [ -z "$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME" ]; then
  XPCOM=$(ls -t /usr/lib/{mozilla,firefox}-*/libxpcom.so|head -n1)
  export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=$(dirname $XPCOM)
fi
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME

I've been meaning to fix this - thanks for doing it!  I'll include it in our
next build.
Comment 2 Ben Konrath 2005-05-25 05:15:21 UTC 
This has been fixed in the M7 packages. Can you test to make sure this works for
you and close this bug if it does? Thanks for the patch.
Comment 3 Robin Green 2005-05-25 13:10:28 UTC 
Yeah, it works for me with the eclipse 3.1M7 rpms.
