Summary

0000703: Omnetpp/Omnest 4.3.0 IDE: Eclipse crashes in soup_session_feature_detach with Fedora 19 / new versions of WebKitGTK

Description

Omnest crashes randomly on Fedora 19, KDE 4.11.4, with a fatal error in soup_session_feature_detach as described in

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404776 [^]

Omnest IDE starts up, but before I do any work, it disappears after a few seconds, and in ~/.xsession-errors an Eclipse crash report can be found.
The problem does NOT occur every time after a fresh boot. For a couple of days, the IDE works fine, then the problem reappears. When the problem appears, I can remove the lock file from the .metadata folder, but the IDE crashes again on a second attempt.

Apparently, this problem is due to a new version of WebKitGTK;
it was reproduced with all 3.8, 4.2 and 4.3 versions of eclipse-swt.

Workaround for IDE in Fedora 19, following
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404776: [^]

Patch omnest-4.3/ide/omnest.ini by adding the following single line at the very end:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

=> IDE again works normally.

I verified that the problem is resolved in a newer Eclipse version, namely in Eclipse Kepler version 4.3.1.v20131014-1715 (no workaround needed in eclipse.ini).

Additional Information

My Fedora system:

Kernel:
  3.12.5-200.fc19.x86_64 or
  Kernel 3.12.0 (vanilla)
  Omnest crashes occurred randomly on both kernels.

Webkitgtk:
  webkitgtk-2.0.4-1.fc19.x86_64
  webkitgtk3-2.0.4-1.fc19.x86_64

Java:
  java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel-1.7.0.60-2.4.3.0.fc19.x86_64

- In ~/.xsession-errors, I found:

Notes
(0000867) andras (administrator) 2014-01-09 10:35	OMNeT++ 4.4 (to be released in a few days) is already based on Kepler (version 4.3.1), so this should be resolved then.

(0000868) andras (administrator) 2014-01-09 10:36	Resolved by basing the OMNeT++ IDE on Eclipse 4.3.1
