Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-16290:
------------------------------------------
Furthermore WebKit is crashing my Luna. This started as soon as I installed the google-talk plugin into my google-chrome. Luna (and Kepler) froze and crashed as soon as I:
1) triggered autocomplete in a Java code editor
2) tried to switch the browser in the Eclipse preferences (pick "Web Browser" in Eclipse preferences and boom!)
Our guys working on fixing SWT/GTK3 have a patch that should help here. Their approach is to have webkit running in a separate process. In a birds perspective this sounds to me as if this should help not crashing the IDE but not sure if this helps for webkit crashing.

> This ticket is meant to list the bugs related to GTK3 affecting JBDS:
> * JBIDE-16280 VPE/XulRunner crashes workbench
> * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=420581
> * Central tests uses SWT_GTK3=0 in its pom.
> * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421127
> We should make sure all SWT issues we met are reported upstream and that we provide the necessary assistance to SWT developers to make sure everything will be stable for Luna/GA.
> On Linux, most issues can be "hidden" by setting SWT_GTK3=0, but that's definitely not something we want to rely on for JBDS, as SWT over GTK2 will not be maintained in future.
