where can I report/get response on eclipse crashes caused by 14.02-14.04 upgrade?

Yes, I know. I got no rep on this site. But I have to ask this.
I upgraded my laptop, my main dev machine, from 14.02 LTS to 14.04 LTS and the plugins I use with eclipse (3.7) completely broke. I use WOLips (https://github.com/wocommunity/wolips) with eclipse. WOLips is for working with WebObjects applications.
I was getting two crashes. One would occur when editing a java file, when auto-suggest kicked in. I fixed this by adding "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla" to the end of my eclipse.ini. I have no idea how I found that. It took a lot of random searching.
Now, I get an exception whenever I open a WOComponent:
Unhandled event loop exception
No more handles [Could not detect registered XULRunner to use]
Trying to define a XULRunnerPath just gives me even stranger errors.
I can file a bug with eclipse (which I did). I tried eclipse 4.2 and 4.4 and got other complicated integration issues. I can file a bug with mozilla (though I was not aware that they were involved). I can install a copy of xulrunner (outside of my copy of Firefox) and point to that (which I did). I can file a bug with ubuntu launchpad (which I did). None of these get you very much response.
So, I was going from one LTS to another LTS. 14.04 - 14.02 = 0.02. Not a huge deal, yes? Should I have expected problems? How can I file a bug with the people involved in just this upgrade and not the other twelve systems that this touches upon?
I had Apple laptops for a long time. I do not expect that amount of hand-holding. But I do wish someone would throw me a bone.
I can get work done if I go buy another hard disk, install 12.04 onto it and copy all of my data back. Is this really necessary? You know, I am willing to help integration testing of these releases. But the systems for finding the right place to put my oar in the water seem fairly impenetrable. Any suggestions? I do not mind working for a solution. If there is a solution.
Ray,
Did you try Eclipse 4.4 and use the instructions on the wiki for compiling the new WOLips? the Eclipse 4.4 is acting just fine for me (but I'm on a Mac sorry :( )

Netbeans refuses to shutdown

An infuriating problem.
My Netbeans IDE 7.2 refuses to shutdown when I try to shutdown my machine.
I have got to use task manager to close the beast.
Its a windows 7 64 bit machine.
I have tried the usual Netbeans forums.
Any Ideas?
PS: I also use the well behaved Eclipse.
from what I'm seeing, you might have a corrupted install of netbeans cause usually it is light on a system. How long ago did you install it? Did you make any major changes before this all started, from evinvorment setting changes to major changes like how the thing complies etc...? I would say, the easiest bet is to back up the settings, if possible, and reinstall or do a repair install, if offered, of netbeans.
Upgraded to 7.3 and I no longer have a problem.
BTW Netbeans 7.3 is great for developing HTML 5 code.

netbeans plugin update constantly freezes at 50%

I've been trying to update my netbeans plugins ever since 7.0.1, but I've never been able to get beyond half of the installation bar. It just freezes at around 50% each time. After I close the IDE, it will attempt to update but fail. I've updated to 7.1 but the issue still persists even for the initial Junit plugin installation after a fresh installation of 7.1.
I've attached a screenshot. Does anybody know what is the issue here?
I read in the Definitive Guide to NB Platform 7.1 that you have to install NetBeans (well because of the JUnit) into the folder, where it has write rights. Which is not the Progam Files in Windows 7.
So try to install it for example into C:\Programs or something like that. You can install new version (7.1.1) even without uninstalling the older one and then let the NB get your previous settings (it will ask).
You can try temporarily disabling your firewall and/or antivirus. I got the same problem, and disabling AVG Internet Security everything worked fine. Hope it helps!
I think that problem is in network. So try to change network you are on. I am using university network that has many policies and only JUnit plugin installation stucks. Went to local wireles public network and JUnit plugin was installed successfully.

CFeclipse on Eclipse 3.7 hangs on 10016kb

I am trying to install CFeclipse on Eclipse 3.7. Only possible without the docshare option, but I don't think i really need that. But still, i get a problem. My install hangs when 10016kb of the file is downloaded. Then nothing happens anymore. Is CFeclipse still available or is it still maintained? Is there any other free Coldfusion editor for Eclipse available?
You could also use ColdFusion Builder 2, when the trial expires it turns into the express edition.
http://cfdocyard.blogspot.com/2011/05/coldfusion-builder-express-edition-free.html
But as mentioned above, I guess where 3.7 isn't released it's not yet supported, you could join the mailing lists to ask to the guys who will be able to respond directly.
http://cfeclipse.org/index.cfm/help/
Some users have reported problems downloading the plugin. It's a very intermittent problem and we haven't been able to track it down to a cause yet. Are you behind a firewall or using a proxy?
If you run into this problem every time, could you please post to the user group so we can try to track down the problem? Thanks!

Eclipse Ganymede startup on 64 bit vista is really slow

I've just changed computers at work and now have a really beefy 64bit Vista os. Currently I'm still slogging through the pile of quirks (like no 64bit drivers for ms access) and I've noticed that my startup time for eclipse is a LOT longer than it was on 32bit Vista. I have almost nothing in my workspace yet, so that knocks out most of the change/rebuild workspace issues. I've used the -clean option a few times and nothing seems to change it.
I'm not running the 64bit version of eclipse, just because it seemed like too much trouble right now with all my other issues getting the machine back into a stable state. It also seems like 64bit eclipse is still pretty rough around the edges since it doesn't appear to have actually been released yet.
Any clues about what I can try to speed things up? Once it's running, it seems to work fine.
TIA
Try tweaking the JVM's memory settings. E.g., if you have 512 MB memory, pass "-vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx256m" to eclipse.exe.
You may give eclipse 64bits a shot (even though you say in your question not using it).
With the latest JDK (6u12) and the latest 3.5M5 eclipse, it does work quite fine.
With my settings, that is ;)
