Does anybody understand or know the nature of the browser within Eclipse
? What is it heratige, where is it going. There appear to be 2 types,
what is the difference ?
I'm thinking, whats the possibility of taking Firefox and embedding it
into a widget. Then opening up all of the browser UI event management
so they can be pumped by an event interface (not necessarly directly
from realtime windowing event actions).
It would be ideal if the browser could run in its own process address
space (not inside eclipse's) and they share memory to the frame buffer /
access to the windowing widgets to allow the GUI display and event to be
routed to the first process but for all intents and purposes it looks
integrated. This is sort of like how <embed> works in HTML but I want
it just like the current internal browser in Eclipse.
This would allow a browser stub to be created as the eclipse plugin that
can start, attach and detach from eclipse.
This is just an idea that I'm researching.
