Build Identifier: M20110909-1335 I creates a swt.Browser object and feed it with the setText() command in a shell of mine. The shell is displayed but the location of the browser remains blank. I'm on Ubuntu 11 and when I click on the browser location, scroll bar appear and seem to be proportional to the text in the browser. But, whatever the action, the text is not displayed. Below, my initialization of the browser: SashForm sashForm = new SashForm(parent, SWT.HORIZONTAL); sashForm.setLayout(new GridLayout()); sashForm.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL, GridData.FILL, true, true)); tbCFG = new Table(sashForm, SWT.PUSH | SWT.BORDER); TableColumn column1 = new TableColumn(tbCFG,SWT.NULL); column1.setText("CFG"); column1.pack(); browser = new Browser(sashForm, SWT.NONE); browser.setText("<html><body><i>Select a script on the left list.</i></body></html>"); Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just run the code above.
I just discover that the bug is arising when my PC is behind a proxy. If there is no proxy, all is fine !
As an experiment can you see if specifying appropriate values for the java properties described in http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserproxy (Linux) helps?
Indeed, as soon as I realized it's a problem of proxy, I tried to configure it in the preferences dialog and doesn't work: my browser widget wasn't displaying anything. In fact, I have dig the problem: I have forgotten that my displayed HTML (generated from a String) is including a CSS stylesheet from an HTTP location: that's was the real problem. But as a side effect, it seems that the Browser widget does not handle well the proxy configuration. Maybe some method has to be called ?
To confirm, you said that you tried to configure the proxy info in eclipse's preferences dialog, but did you try setting the java properties described in http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserproxy? The linked FAQ item suggests setting them at the command line when launching eclipse, but a better way is to append the vm args to the end of the eclipse.ini file.
No, I don't. I don't know I have to do something for that.
