Note to self, for Eclipse problem (Ganymede under Ubuntu)

sarikan

When you see an empty dialog just after the splash screen, first check the .log file under workspace/.metadata/

if it is a xul error, which probably is, then do this:

sudo apt-get install xulrunner

append to eclipse.ini
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner/xulrunner

Remember: the -D… stuff goes last in eclipse.ini
