Eclipse broken in ArchLinux? No problem.
If you are running ArchLinux you might notice that Eclipse is currently broken, this is apperntly due to changes in the Mozilla Web Engine that is used by default.
You will notice this by chrashes occuring when you are trying to use the autocomplete function, the help function etc.
First we will need to install a library called libwebkit from extra:
sudo pacman -S extra/libwebkit
Then we will need to create a symlink to a file that does not exist by running:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so /usr/lib/libwebkit-1.0.so.2
Now we we only need to edit eclipse.ini located in /usr/share/ecplipse and add a new line to the bottom (make sure that it is the last line):
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true
If you restart eclipse everything should be working again.
