Description Veronika Irvine CLA 2003-04-28 11:21:38 EDT
Support Mozilla Browser.  Mozilla is available for most platforms. SWT should 
support it.
Comment 1 Tobias Frech CLA 2003-05-06 13:03:38 EDT
You mean like a HTML view element ?
Comment 2 Veronika Irvine CLA 2003-05-06 13:21:17 EDT
Embedded Mozilla will provide an embeddable browser and HTML editor.

See:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/embedding/

Yes, it's a very interessant feature.

Eclipse is multi-platform, and Mozilla too. So, it can be natural that they work
together.
And, IE is really to slow and to bad in front of Mozilla.

For the embedded project, it's not really Mozilla which is embedded, it's Gecko,
the render engine.

It's seems to be not too hard to use their API (I see somewhere that there is a
100% compatible API with IE's embedded API for Gecko).

For all Java related project and integration with Mozilla :

I think creating a plugin to take advantage of GRE, which is becoming available
on more platforms (IIRC) is the better approach.
Comment 6 Darin Fisher (IBM) CLA 2003-08-19 21:29:54 EDT
Hi, I'm interested in helping out with this bug... I'm a Mozilla developer, and
I heard about this bug and thought I might try to help out where ever I can.  I
have some experience working with the GRE in various applications.  There are
some snags, but for the most part embedding the GRE into an application is
pretty straightforward.  For GTK applications, there is even a GTK wrapper
around the GRE interfaces (gtkmozembed) that makes embedding the GRE a snap. 
But, using the raw XPCOM GRE interfaces is also pretty straightforward.  Please
let me know if someone is actively working on this.

Hi to all,

I'll mark this PR as a duplicate of bug 36952 which is now owned by SWT. Bug 
36952 is now the placeholder for updates on the SWT Browser widget (and 
Mozilla).

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 36952 ***

i do not think this is a duplicate of bug #36952. what i am looking for is the ability to specifically use the mozilla rendering engine as opposed to the internet explorer one (i use windows xp). part of the work i do requires specific browsers and being able to choose and internal/embedded mozilla or IE browser would really help
