Description Andreas Piening CLA 2011-11-15 20:48:51 EST 
Build Identifier: M20110909-1335

I worked with eclipse without issues. After quitting the application and starting it later, I got the message "An error has occured" on every startup and eclipse shuts down immediately. The message-dialog told me to look at the file ".metadata/.log" in my workspace.

That's what I got there:

Comment 2 Grant Gayed CLA 2011-11-16 13:19:53 EST 
It looks like the app from zkoss.org is attempting to create an SWT.MOZILLA-style Browser, which is failing because (presumably) you do not have XULRunner installed.  I think the possibilities are:

1. That app wanted you to install XULRunner.
2. That app ships a XULRunner and is failing to point the Browser at it.
3. That app ships a 32-bit XULRunner but you're running 64-bit eclipse, so it's failing to load.

I would suggest trying your scenario again with 32-bit eclipse, and if this still fails then contact the authors of the zkoss.org app.  There's likely not an swt problem here, so closing report as NOT_ECLIPSE.  If there is subsequent evidence that shows that there could be an swt problem then please reopen this report.
