Bug Description

Binary package hint: eclipse

eclipse.ini is referencing xulrunner-1.9.2 but the latest package only installs to /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.2 with symlinks in /usr/lib/xulrunner

The /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2 symlink does not exist. This should either be fixed in eclipse or xulrunner.

$ grep xulrunner /etc/eclipse.ini
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2
$ ls -l /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2: No such file or directory
$ apt-cache policy xulrunner-1.9.2
xulrunner-1.9.2:
  Installed: 1.9.2.2+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.9.2.2+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
  Version table:

xulrunner path isn't static, the proper way to use it is:
/usr/lib/xulrunner-`xulrunner-1.9.2 --gre-version`

eclipse.ini cannot reference it statically

I guess the fix would be to remove it from eclipse.ini and append it to the eclipse commandline by putting it in the /usr/bin/eclipse wrapper script
