title: Open eclipse juno with error "No more handles ..." in Ubuntu 12.04
body: <p>Starting today, every time I open up the eclipse, I got a message box with title "Problem Occured" pops up saying:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)] possible args: {0}, {1}, {2}, {3}
    No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)]</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Then I click "OK" and proceed to the workbench, I got another error saying</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>An SWT error has occurred.
    You are recommended to exit the workbench.
    Subsequent errors may happen and exit the workbench without warning.
    See the .log file for more details. </p>
    
    <p>Do you want to exit the workbench? (Yes / No)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Then I clicked "Yes" and took a look at the .log file in .metadata. I saw this long stacktrace:</p>

  <p>I did hours of Google searching, seeing all different solutions, but they are either too complicated for me to figure out <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9695271/swt-browser-eclipse">see this</a>, or not work at all. </p>
  
  <p>I tried the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>edit /etc/environment and add <code>MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox</code>, no effect</li>
  <li>edit eclipse.desktop and change <code>Exec=/usr/bin/eclipse/eclipse</code> to <code>Exec=env MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox /usr/bin/eclipse/eclipse</code> this time the eclipse will freeze at the start-up.</li>
  <li>download a XULRunner-1.9.2.19 from <a href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.9.2.19/source/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and set the <code>MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME</code> env variable point to directory where I extract it. I got a new error:</li>
