Comment 28 for bug 553779

Hello,

I have the same problems as Victor: I upgraded to 3.5.2-2ubuntu2 and Eclipse freezes when loading the workspace (more exactly, the freeze occurs after all the initializations and initial compilation of projects have completed).
I don't use Aptana, it's a regular Eclipse with a few plugins (AspectJ with weaving enabled, P4, WTP, TPTP, Data modeling, Mylin, IAM).

Here is the stack trace for the thread that is hanging:

If I add -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2 to /etc/eclipse.ini, then it seems to work, so far.

Thanks, Ludovic
