XULRUNNER set profile [message #869621]

I am using XULRUNNER as the swt browser component and I want to run multiple instances of my xulrunner project on one computer.
The problem is all use the same profile folder:
<ApplicationDataDirectory>/Mozilla/eclipse
and this can cause problems, for example they overwrite each others cache entries which caused one of the browsers css to disappear and the site layout collapsed.

I was able to workaround this via setting the browser.cache.disk.parent_directory in all.js in the xulrunner installation directory.

But I would like a better solution - is there any way I can tell the swt xulrunner browser component which profile to use? (xulrunner can be run with the -profile XXXX option)

Thanks,
János

Thanks, I voted for it. How do I know if it will be implemented, and when? How many votes does it need?

Vote count is a criteria that's considered when prioritizing bugs, but
there are many other criteria as well, and there's no magic vote count
that triggers an investigation.

The current Eclipse/SWT iteration is now into its Release Candidate
stage, so it's safe to say that this will not be investigated for the
upcoming release. Planning for the next release will happen in the
summer; while the degree of this planning is not as fine-grained as an
individual request like this, decisions such as resource allocation
could definitely affect the likelihood of this being looked at. If this
feature is absolutely critical for you then your most prudent course is
to investigate the required SWT change and ship a modified SWT with your
app. The SWT FAQ ( http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php ) should contain
entries for the various steps that are needed to do this.
