replacing XUL-Runner with webkit-runtime

[nimo22]

I am using 64bit version of eclipse running in 64 bit jdk and therefore cannot use the visual page editor (and its embeeded JBoss Tools Mobile Browser Simulator)

According to https://community.jboss.org/thread/164805 the root problem insists of using XUL-Runner which is not supported in 64 bit.

Maybe, I am getting it technicially wrong, but why not replacing XUL-Runner by using an integrated webkit-runtime whitin the jboss tools.

With an integrated webkit, visual page editor can be used in 64 bit mode.

By the way, I am not sure, if this is correct, but http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Download contains a file "xulrunner-10.0.10.en-US.win64-x86_64.zip" which seems to be a 64-bit version of XUL-Runner.

Oh, the file "xulrunner-10.0.10.en-US.win64-x86_64.zip" is NOT a 64-bit-version!

Problem is that webkit does not provide the same level of integration that XulRunner did.

And even if we moved to webkit it would not be 64 bit on OSX since here the opensource webkit is only available in 32-bit afaik.

Note, the Browser Simulator actually uses webkit - so you should not have such problems.

Thanks. I opened the Browser Sim but as indicated here https://community.jboss.org/wiki/BrowserSimFAQ it also does not work on 64 bit eclipse.

I tried to change the eclipse.ini in hope to run on 32 bit instead of 64 bit. However, it does not work:

-vmargs

-d32

That means, I have to install 32 bit version of eclipse and set up my plugins and workspace again (tedious work;(.

AFAIK -vmargs -d32 works only for Mac.
