    Khoa,
    Our standard Linux version and Manual Install are run fine on Ubuntu.

    You need to set the environment variable MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to the value “” in a script before launching MyEclipse, like so:

    
    export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=""
    eclipse -vm <Path to 'java' executable> -vmargs <ARGUMENTS>
    

    Although due to instability on Linux we removed the designer from the 5.5M1 and 5.1.1 releases on Linux. It was a hard decision, but in some cases it was able to crash the workbench and that is not something we could ship.

    But you can force it back on in those releases using the following environment flag:

    
    export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=""
    eclipse -vm <Path to 'java' executable> -vmargs -Dlinux.experimental=true <EXTRA ARGUMENTS>

    You are correct.There is issue with Visual JSP editor on Linux.Eclipse crash too often and we disable Visual JSP editor in newer releases (5.1.1 and 5.5.M1).You can try visual editor if start myEclipse with option:
    -Dlinux.experimental=true
    but it is unstable.The crash is not reproducible and some use case are welcome.

    Not entirely sure it is the same problem but I can reproduce a crash on start up (with -Dlinux.experimental=true) simply by having a jsp editor open from a previous session. As it gets to the end of the progress bar on the splash screen, it look like it is just starting to open the IDE, then crashes with:

    JVM terminated. Exit code=1
    /usr/bin/java
    -Xms128M
    -Xmx512M
    -XX:PermSize=64M
    -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
    -Dlinux.experimental=true
    -jar /home/dave/develop/eclipse/./startup.jar
    -os linux
    -ws gtk
    -arch x86
    -launcher /home/dave/develop/eclipse/./eclipse
    -name Eclipse
    -showsplash 600
    -exitdata a58003
    -vm /usr/bin/java
    -vmargs
    -Xms128M
    -Xmx512M
    -XX:PermSize=64M
    -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
    -Dlinux.experimental=true
    -jar /home/dave/develop/eclipse/./startup.jar

    That’s the same problem and why we turned the designer off on Linux. We’re still researching a fix and hope to have it in place by 5.5 GA.
