SWT Browser Widget working on Solaris? [message #438916]

Hi,

is the SWT Browser widget working on Solaris? Looking at the sources
and the swt-mozilla.jar that is deployed, it looks as if it should
work.

Thanks for the info,
Ben

The supported platforms for the Browser widget are listed here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-swt-home/faq.html#browserplatforms

Mozilla requires GTK to be installed and in fact I believe it requires a
specific version of GTK to be installed.

See:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-swt-home/faq.html#browserlinux

You may be able to run on Solaris but you probably have to install a few
things first. The guy who wrote the Browser widget is currently on vacation
but I know he was playing around with Solaris. I will ask around to find
out the scoop on Solaris.

No it's not supported on Solaris. The widget will throw an exception as
documented in the Browser javadoc. Please open a feature request - you can
also paste the information on the Mozilla version you are running on that
platform.

Thanks,
Chris
