Eclipse JVM Exit Code 127 when RTC 'Jazz Administration' perspective was opened

Question

I've setup a new RHEL6.5 OS and installed Java 64bit with this tutorial. The version check shows:

[user@localhost bin]$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_75"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_75-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode)

And JAVA_HOME and JAVA_JRE are set correctly:

[user@localhost bin]$ echo $JAVA_HOME && echo $JRE_HOME
/opt/jdk1.7.0_75
/opt/jdk1.7.0_75/jre

I installed the latest version (4.4.2) of eclipse and was able to execute it. Because of my project setup I've installed the RTC-Plugin with the p2 archive: RTC-Client-p2Repo-5.0.2.zip

After the successful start I want to change into the Jazz Administration perspective Java crashes every time with this JVM error.

JVM terminated. Exit code=127 /opt/jdk1.7.0_75/jre/bin/java

Can someone help me with this error? I've tried different parameter in the eclipse.ini. This is my current eclipse.ini used while the errors occure.

Did you tried with the recommended version (https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/5.0.2?p=allDownloads) Eclipse 4.2.x IDE, instead of your Eclipse 4.4.x? — VonC, Mar 18 '15 at 09:33
AtVonC no I didn't. I'm downloading it at the moment and give feedback with the 4.2.x Version. @Ivan which crash report? Eclipse doesn't log any errors, if you pointing in this direction. — MarcelHodan, Mar 18 '15 at 11:46
I mean Java crash report like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5787793/crash-report-from-jvm — Ivan Mamontov, Mar 18 '15 at 11:51
@vonC no the recommended version has nothing to do with it. :/ — MarcelHodan, Mar 18 '15 at 13:48
The location of this log file is usually in working directory. It's possible to define the path to the hs_err_pid file. Add the following JVM Parameter to your existing ones: `-XX:ErrorFile=./hs_err_pid.log` — Ivan Mamontov, Mar 18 '15 at 15:48
@Ivan : I tried it, but no JVM error message occured. But I guess it wasn't logged or I searched at the wrong places. (~/ | ~/eclipse/ | ~/eclipse/workspace | ~/eclipse/workspace/.metadata ) — MarcelHodan, Mar 19 '15 at 10:24

Ok, I found the point of failure. It's the SWT Browser which causes the problem.

This is an eclipse problem (bug 343889).
Many of the linux distributions recently underwent an upgrade to xulrunner-2.0 which is incompatible with some versions of eclipse. (even with xmlrunner-compat packages)

I found some information about this error in these posts:

Error while delivering code in RTC (Quote Source)
SWT Browser & Eclipse

After i added these lines to my eclipse.ini I encountered another error.

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

But this time it was logged in the .log within my .metadata.

!ENTRY com.ibm.team.process.ide.ui 4 0 2015-03-19 03:11:17.361
!MESSAGE Error logged from Process Client UI:

    at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.create(Mozilla.java:681)
    at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.<init>(Browser.java:99)
    ...

If anyone looks for theses errors, try this posts:
