java.lang.IllegalArgumentException while importing guava sources into Eclipse

Today I encountered a problem with importing guava sources into Eclipse.

Steps to reproduce:

0. Checkout guava sources
1. Import project into Eclipse as "Existing Maven Projects"

Detected:

TableViewer.refresh(true, false) behaves as TableViewer.refresh(true, true)

The problem I met is that refresh(true, false) method of org.eclipse.jface.viewers.TableViewer class behaves as refresh(true, true) on Linux platforms.

I found an opened bug for this case: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=414455 but the current SWT 4.3 stable version doesn't contain the fix.

To overcome this problem temporary (until SWT 4.4 is released) I used "SWT.MULTI" style bit during TableViewer creation.

I played with different styles, but it is the only way to avoid the problem. "SWT.NONE" didn't help as well because of the logic inside org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Tablet constructor which overwrites "style" parameter:

Eclipse 4.3: No schema found for the extension point

PROBLEM: 

No schema found for the extension point. The warning occurred in "Extensions" tab of plugin.xml file. Look at the following screenshot:

Eclipse: Internal browser is not available: No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)]

PROBLEM: I've got the following error message when was configuring Eclipse after installing a new Fedora 19:

Error
Unhandled event loop exception
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)]
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4423)
at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.initMozilla(Mozilla.java:1993)
at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.create(Mozilla.java:701)
at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.<init>(Browser.java:99)

SOLUTION: The solution was just install missed lib and restart Eclipse:

1. $ sudo yum install libwebkitgtk*
2. Restart Eclipse
