You can disable Visual Editor by adding the option –org.jboss.tools.vpe.loadxulrunner=false to the eclipse.ini (or jbdevstudio.ini if you use JBoss Developer Studio). *Q: Visual Editor does not start under Linux* *A:* Linux users may need to do the following to get the visual editor to work correctly on their machines. * The Visual Page Editor (before JBoss Tools 3.1.0.M4) requires the library libstdc++.so.5. This library is contained in the compat-libstdc++-33.i386 package. * To install this package on Fedora Core or Red Hat Enterprise Linux run the following command: yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i386 ** On any other rpm based distributions download libstdc++.so.5 and run the following command: rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-33.i386 ** On Debian and Debian based distributions (e.g. Ubuntu) run the following command: apt-get install libstdc++5 * In case you have the library installed and you still have issue with starting the visual page editor then close all browser views/editors and leave one visual page editor open and restart eclipse. This should force a load of the right XULRunner viewer. *Q: Visual Editor doesn't start at any platform and shows message 'The VPE editor can't be run because your system environment needs to be changed slightly'* *A:* Check if you version of JBoss Developer Studio/JBoss Tools is compatible with you version of Eclipse, see the compatibility matrix http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-14297 http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/Matrixofsupportedplatformsruntimesand... *Q: Visual Editor starts OK, but the following message dialog appears:* http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-10862-39-195... http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/102-10862-39... *A:* Some functionality of Visual Editor may not work if a project doesn't have org.jboss.tools.jsf.jsfnature or org.jboss.tools.jst.web.kb.kbnature in .project configuration. To fix this problem and turn off the message box execute next steps: * Right mouse button click on a project in Package Explorer. * Select +Configure -> Add JSF Capabilities+ from the context menu. * Configure your project using +Add JSF Capabilities+ wizard and press Finish. *P.S.* If you are shure that your project does not need JSF capabilities, just disable this message box by checking "+Do not show this dialog again!+" checkbox. *Q: Visual Part doesn't start and "XPCOM error -2147467259" is shown* *A:* Something bad happened with buildin xulrunner. To check it you should: * Go to Eclipse -> Help -> About -> Installation Details... ->  Configuration * find +org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath+ and open this path in terminal * try xulrunner.exe -version or ./xulrunner -version and it should show what is needed for XR to work -------------------------------------------------------------- Comment by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-10862] Create a new document in JBoss Tools at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=102&am...]
