Eclipse Juno Internal Web Browser Unavailable (Ubuntu)

I installed Eclipse (Juno) on Ubuntu Precise and cannot use the internal Eclipse web browser. I get this error:

SWT Browser management not available

I searched and did not find a solution that works.

Thank you for your help!

I found a solution that worked:

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

I'm not sure why.

On Linux, the SWT browser widget can use Mozilla XULRunner or Webkit 1 . I had version conflicts between the web browser included in the Linux distribution, XULRunner and what SWT adopted. Using Webkit seems to be a simpler approach. If you have installed both XULRunner and Webkit, see 2 to select a specific toolkit.
