| [cross-project-issues-dev] Change of SWT default browser on Windows to Edge |
|
Hi everyone, We want to inform you about the plan to switch the default browser of SWT on Windows from Internet Explorer to Edge next week. This will result in the browsers of consumers, such as Eclipse products, to use Edge by default
unless otherwise specified. It will still be possible to instantiate individual browsers with Internet Explorer (via style flag) or to change the default of an application (via VM argument). The PR that applies the according change of defaults can be found here:
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/pull/1637 Changing the default browser now is supposed to give us the chance of extensive (implicit) testing by developers using I-Builds throughout the current development cycle. If you experience any issues, please report them
in the umbrella issue:
