org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [NS_InitEmbedding

[Apoorv Sharma]

Get this error when I run any application(tried various sample
applications) in Hosted mode(executing the xyz-shell script):
---
[ERROR] The browser widget class could not be instantiated

Although after running the xyz-shell if I manually open a browser and
open the link it works.

Any idea what should I do ?

Hi Apoorv,

What distribution of Linux are you running? Some developers were experiencing the same issue using specific Linux distributions, and often solved the problem by switching to a stabler version of that distribution.

Check this thread for an example. Also, a search for "no more handles" on the GWT forum should turn up some useful threads:

I am using Ubuntu. Its a stable version of it.
had gone through problems faced by others and tried that all. The
library problem, after resolving that problem by renaming libraries
and creating links. I got this problem.

have gone through all of them none mentions my problem. The problem
they mentioned was there in my system and I resolved them all. This
one is the current one.
I feel that the problem is at the level of JAVA trying to call mozilla
and not being able to do so. IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH PERMISSIONS of
any folder or file.
