SWT Browser & Eclipse

Question

On my Arch Linux, Eclipse with Google Window Builder/SWT application, I am getting

Exception in thread \"main\" org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [U         


        

Answer 1

This steps worked for me with STS 2.9.2 based on Eclipse 3.7.2 (Ubuntu 12.04 - 64bits):

1. Install Google plugin for Eclipse using this update site: http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.7. I just wanted to use GWT, so I only checked "Google plugin for Eclipse", "GWT Designer for GPE" and "SDKs".
2. Restart Eclipse and verify that trying to design a GWT UIBinder view with WindowBuilder fails showing an error related to xulrunner.
3. Close Eclipse.
4. Install required packages (inspired by http://elgali.net/2012/05/14/gwt-designer-eclipse-plugin-in-ubuntu-12-04/)
   • sudo apt-get install libicu48
   • sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-common
   • sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
5. Start Eclipse again and check that WindowBuilder Desing view works!
