Starting with SUSE 10.1 there’s no longer an old Mozilla Browser package included I’ve always used for the internal browser configuration of Eclipse and MyEclipse.

Searching the web for hints round about this topic I found some suggestions about the requirements of a successfull Firefox integration. First of all, Firefox needs to be linked dynamically. Additionally, Eclipse should be able to find the library libgtkembedmoz.so. Using the 64bit variant of the distribution this small Script works for me:

#!/bin/sh
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.8.0.1
~/Eclipse/3.2/eclipse/eclipse -vm ~/Java/jdk64/bin/java -vmargs -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m

The library is included in the mozilla-xulrunner package.

I’m not for sure if the mozilla that comes installed with Suse 10.1 has been compiled with GTK2 and XFT support and without Freetype2 support. Those are the requirements for getting the Eclipse Internal Web Browser configured.

However, if you want to use the new Visual HTML Designer or any of the AJAX tools, you will need to set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=”” which disables the internal web browser, but enables our bundled Web2.0 Browser.
