| SWT Browser - 64bit windows - still IE only? [message #892815] |

I'm in the process of migrating my RCP application to Juno from 3.6. One reason (but not the only one) is the browser widget. We want to use Chrome or Mozilla - and maybe even the later versions of IE. Yes, we are a windows only shop - and there is no way we can move off of it. My questions are:
Is it still really true that the only way to switch browser engines is to use 32bit Eclipse???? I'm using 64bit, and am not inclined to force my users to use 32 bit if I don't have to - my boss will kill me if this is the case.
How do I tell the renderer to run IE 8 or 9 vs. the IE7 it keeps loading?
Thanks.
Sharon

Hi Simon,
Thanks for responding. I thought that maybe something had changed since 2009, but it doesn't sound like it. As I mentioned we are upgrading our Eclipse version, so that will help.
I tried to use Eclipse Juno to test out the browser functionality, but only on 64 bit so far. Today I'm going to try to see what I can do using a 32 bit setup of Eclipse Juno. Hopefully it will work as advertised. 
We were using 64 bit for performance and memory. Some of our users keep our product running all week and sometimes when memory usage gets high. These are not leaks, but the way the application was initially designed....which, of course, is not how they are using it! While we've fixed some of the memory issues to better match their usage, some will most likely remain as-is.
Thanks,
Sharon

, but why not using 32 bit for your RCP client?
