A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment

Question

I wanted to install WindRiver Workbench for VxWorks development on my Linux host. I got the correct license file and everything but my JRE seems to crash, I get the error:

Launching installer...  
#

Any idea how I can fix this, the log in /home/reg/WindRiver/maintenance/wrInstaller/x86-linux2/hs_err_pid19272.log1 is huge but the very bottom portion looks like:

Solution

I've tried adding the the below line to the end of eclipse.ini, but Eclipse can't start at all:

org.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

I think there is some typo error, the line should be:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

and this worked for me.
