Trident the only option? [message #901893] |

Is Trident the only render engine supported right now? I tried both WebKit and XULRunner and the IDE would not start with either of them selected. If they are supposed to work I will post the error detail here. Please let me know...
Thanks,
Dan
OKAY, HOLD THE PHONE: I found some stuff in the documentation about extra manual steps required to use either WebKit or XULRunner. Let me try those steps and see what happens. (grumble, grumble... *need a warning on the preferences page* ... grumble, grumble)

Hi all,
I share my experience here.
If you keep receiving below error:
"Error:
Internal Error
No more handles [Safari must be installed to use a SWT.WEBKIT-style Browser]
".
It is probably that xulrunner's settings has conflicts with webkit's settings.
Sometimes other eclipse based IDEs would set some global values to ensure SWT properly initialize a firefox browser during its installation, while it crashes webkit initialization. This is very annoying. To override the global settings, it might work if you add below configurations to EDT's eclipse.ini file and then restart it.
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=webkit
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=D:\ //!important: specify a wrong directory to force SWT not use XULRunner which crashes webkit initialization
To reuse firefox as the rendering engine, just remove these two statements.
Besides, if you have ever manually installed XULRunner, navigate to the directory where XULRunner installed, and run below commands to uninstall it in the console, since it also crashes Webkit's initialization in eclipse.
xulrunner.exe --unregister-global

Hi
Yesterday I got this error "No more handles [Safari must be installed to use a SWT.WEBKIT-style Browser]" as mentioned by Smyle in previous post when running 8.1 32 bit and I tried the instructions from Smyle. This was not successful for me. The problem started after updating to Java 7.7, 32 bit (It was a recomandation even though I am running a 64 bit machine). After uninstalling Java 7.7 32 bit, keeping Java 7.7 64 bit, all seems to be working as normal again.
