When previewing a report or running the report in embedded web browser, Eclipse Reporting 3.7.1 crashes with only the following messages:

No bp log location saved, using default.
[000:000] Browser XEmbed support present: 1
[000:000] Browser toolkit is Gtk2.
[000:000] Using Gtk2 toolkit

It happens with all reports, even with a blank one.

1. Launch Eclipse for Java & Report Developers 3.7.1 64-bit in Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit
2. Create a new report
3. On the blank report, click Preview tab ...... crash

Workaround:

./eclipse -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

This solves the crashing problem entirely.

Workaround found from: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=349837#c14

The (upstream) Eclipse bug was marked fixed as of 3.7.1 however it still requires the manual command-line argument to avoid the crash in Eclipse Reporting/BIRT 3.7.1.
