Still a work in progress but here are the results so far:
The Maven project with our base JBoss install has lots-o-errors, and seems to run slowly. I’ve installed the newest version of Eclipse. It still shows many JSP errors but some of them are worth fixing and it seems like it cannot find tag library through our proxy perhaps. It also seems to run a bit snappier and it does not have that JSF problem that occurs when viewing JSP pages.
Still probably will need to install a few more times, here’s what’s been tried so far.

Subject: I think I got Eclipse working on the Linux VM
Can you try this on your machine and see if it fixes the problem?
On your Linux VM, go in to where your main eclipse directory is located.
On my VM, it’s in /home/jboss1/programs/eclipse.
Within this directory, there should be a file called eclipse.ini. It contains a bunch of arguments and parameters that get passed to Eclipse when it starts.
Make a copy of eclipse.ini, and call it eclipse.ini.bak or something like that.
Open eclipse.ini in text editor, and add the following to the bottom of the list of arguments.
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/home/jboss1/programs/jbdevstudio/studio/plugins/org.mozilla.xulrunner.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.9.1.2a/xulrunner
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=false
What this does is tells Eclipse to use XULRunner that is part of the JBoss Dev Studio rather than the XULRunner that was patched on Wednesday. Eclipse needs to run with XULRunner 1.9.2 or earlier. The patch on Wednesday upgraded the version used by Firefox to version 17 or something like that, and that’s what Eclipse is trying to use. It don’t work.
JBoss Dev Studio works because it’s using that 1.9.1.2a version of XULRunner.
Save the changes to eclipse.ini, and try to start Eclipse.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks.
Eric
