One clarification to make here, though it's not really relevant to the discussion of WebKit on Windows, is that the use of WebKitGTK+ earlier this year was determined to be a "pre-req" case, not a "works-with".  This is because its use is required for providing stable SWT-NONE-style Browsers on Linux.  SWT-NONE-style Browsers need to reliably work, as there's no more-basic alternative Browser type to fall back to.

The first two paragraphs of the referenced bug report explain why WebKit on Windows is a "works-with" case.  IE is assumed to be available as a stable renderer on Windows for clients creating SWT-NONE-style Browsers.  But for clients wishing to try to use WebKit instead when running on Windows, they should be able to do so and then fall back to using IE as the renderer if WebKit is not available.

+1 for marking webkit-win as a "works-with" dependency.

We recently marked webkit-linux as "works-with" and SWT also works
With IE and xulrunner on Windows.

Thanks,

--- Comment #4 from Barb Cochrane <barb.cochrane@xxxxxxxxxxx>
2010-09-29 09:59:55 --- Sorry Grant; you're right.  It needs to be taken
out of the auto workflow.  

PMC:  project is requesting use of this package as a "workswith".
Please discuss in a public forum such as your PMC's mailing list.  After
you are satisfied that it meets the "workswith" conditions outlined in
http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3r
d_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf,
then back on this CQ please

a)  provide the URL to the discussion space and
b)  provide +1 on this CQ

Thanks!
