Description Ron Bodkin CLA 2003-08-20 20:48:04 EDT 
If you run a (swing) application inside ajbrowser, and you close the window on 
that application, the ajbrowser as a whole closes. I experienced this behavior 
running the figure editor example.
Comment 1 Mik Kersten CLA 2004-02-18 01:47:14 EST 
The AJBrowser only has rudientary support for executing applications, and does 
not spawn the application in a new VM.  As a result, when Swing applications 
dispose themselves they also dispose AJBrowser.  I've documented this 
limitation in the programming guide.

The obvious work-around is to run from the command-line with the same 
classpath that the browser uses.

This should be considered an enhancement request for AJBrowser to run 
applications in a new VM.  I'm lowering the priority of that to P4 for now.
Comment 2 Adrian Colyer CLA 2005-08-17 13:58:32 EDT 
No immediate plans to upgrade ajbrowser, so I'm marking this as "LATER" for potential reconsideration in 
the future.
Comment 3 Mik Kersten CLA 2005-08-17 14:15:26 EDT 
We could also remove the "Run" button from ajbrowser.  But this behavior isn't
that bad and still allows people to run apps, so RESOLVED LATER sounds right.
Comment 4 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2009-08-30 02:49:48 EDT 
LATER/REMIND bugs are being automatically reopened as P5 because the LATER and REMIND resolutions are deprecated.
