Which is the latest Xulrunner version supported in SWT version X ? [message #915419]

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if there is a place where we can find a kind of
"compatibility matrix" between SWT and XulRunner version?

What is the latest XulRunner version supported in Eclipse 3.6,3.7, 3.8,
4.2...?
Which ones of these XulRuneer versions have support for
maxosx,Cocoa,64-bits?
Is there a place where we could get some pre-built bundles for these
XulRunner on all platforms ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Please see this link for the supported Xulrunner and SWT versions --> http://eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserlinux

The Xulrunner versions for different platforms can be downloaded from mozilla.org --> http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/

I'm a bit confused with these xulrunner builds... Is there a build
available for Cocoa 64-bits which is supported by SWT ?
(2-years-old) comment from
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=274197 say that there is
not XulRunner build available for MacOSX 64-bits that can work with
Eclipse. Is it still the case?

Correct, there isn't a XULRunner for Cocoa x86_64 from mozilla.org. At
the time of that report it seemed that there would be one, probably
based on newsgroup discussions, so a 64-bit XULRunner was built locally
from source and a 64-bit swt library compiled against it. This is why
swt's Cocoa x86_64 fragment contains a xulrunner library, which in
theory should still work if mozilla.org ever starts building XULRunner
for this arch. However at this point in time they don't.

Ok thanks. Last question: can you please tell me what's the version of
XulRunner provided by default as part of platform-specific SWT fragments?

Do you mean that this fragment contains a library providing xulrunner support, but not xulrunner itself?

Yes, all of the platform fragments are like this, SWT/Eclipse never
ships XULRunner itself. If a XULRunner installation with version < 2 is
detected on the user's machine then a mozilla-based Browser can use it.
In order to use a newer XULRunner version than this (currently
restricted to XULRunner 10.x) an app must ship the XULRunner binary and
explicitly point at it as described in
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#specifyxulrunner .
