I’ve got the latest Quick Fix for 3.8.1 installed. It did this before that , however. Seems whenever I try to access the Web browser function, It throws an exception and asks me if I want to exit Eclipse. If I do, when I restart, it fails with a ‘check .log’ message. I have to reinstall to get it to work again.
org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Widget is disposed
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2691)
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2616)
…etc…Any ideas on how to get eclipse working again without a total reinstall? I tried saving the MyEclipseWorkBench directory, but putting it back didn’t help.

debian GNU/Linux 2.4.26-1-386 with jsdk1.4.2_05-b04
Installed as root in /home/tconrad, but still running as root for now.
Just wiped out eclipse and MyEclipseWorkbench. Re-installed. Now won’t see existing projects in workbench, but at least I can load eclipse and MyEclipseIDE again.Appears to be something stored in workspace area. I re-installed and left it so I could change the workspace. A fresh workspace works ok, but the old one still yields an exception. BTW, the help system works fine with the Mozilla firefox that is installed. Just seems to be the “Web Browser” tab that causes this.

It is impossible – when help system work then web browser work
You have to special screen for help system, no mozilla firefox windows
You haven’t mozilla gtk2 libraries probably
check swt faq on eclipse.orgregards
I’ll try installing an older version of Mozilla. Looks like the SWT Browser Widget is involved in this and may not support Mozilla Firefox. However, the help system does seem to start a full screen instance of Firefox properly. I am curious why the workspace gets zapped on an ‘internal’ error like this. I can import a project to another workspace.
Tried installing Moz 1.6 with xpi and gtk2. Added MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME link. Still doesn’t work.
This is very repeatable. If I select a different workspace (new), I can start ok. Well, I have to put in my subscription info. Anyway, once I press Web Browser – balloooey!You could give this a try. We have added a new seciton to the FAQ on the htmleditor quickstart that demostrates how to install mozilla 1.6 that will enable the SWT browser on Linux systems.

I just had the same problem and your post gave me an idea…
I renamed the .metadata directory to .metadata.old, forcing eclipse to create a new one. then I went into the following directory of the newly created directory:
.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench
and copied the file workbench.xml top the same location in the old .metadata directory.
Then I deleted the newly created directory and renamed the orignal one back.
Hey presto, it works.. you only loose your workbench layout settings
