getWebBrowser returns null [message #336305]

I need to use Mozilla as the underlying rederer because I need to be able
to do the following with the browser:
Know when the user has selected text (or double-clicked) and get it
Search within the web page
Add custom context menu capabilities
etc.

System
Windows XP SP2
Eclipse 3.4.1
XUL Runner 1.9 (registered with register-global)

The project is a plug-in.

I created the browser with
browser = new Browser(comp, SWT.BORDER|SWT.MOZILLA);

When I call browser.getWebBrowser() I get null back.

I found another post on this board that indicated that I needed to add the
following to my manifest.mf:
DynamicImport-Package: org.mozilla.xpcom

This hasn't resolved my problem.

I'm just creating a simple sample right now. Working from the samples
from

http://www.apress.com/book/downloadfile/4330

ch02.WebBrowser is the project I'm working with. Any ideas as to what the
issue is?
