I am having the same bad luck with eclipse & mozilla on Debian Etch. Nothing
seems to work. I tried the mozilla in icedove, the mozilla plugin that comes
with the Exadel plugin, firefox (etch doesn't have iceweasel yet) and
libxul-dev/xulrunner). 

Nothing works, eclipse crashes immediately any time something with the browser
is used (which is almost all the time with eclipse+exadel). 

Eclipse is completely unusable for me at the moment in this state so any help is
appreciated.
