Re: [platform-swt-dev] Browser widget question

Got there!
Turns out to be quite interesting picking through all the source files including only those necessary for a build. The .classpath made from .classpath_win32_mozilla didn't, as I recall, include a few packages.

In any case, it builds just fine, with the exception that I now need the dll to go with it, and am at a loss to invent that. (Of course, it might exist and I just didn't find it).

Comments welcome.
Thanks
Jack

Assuming you are at step 4 in bug 41840 (Eclipse is started, the source for
the org.eclipse.swt project has been downloaded through CVS from
Eclipse.org and is in your workspace - please ask if you have trouble
getting this right):
- open the resource view and look for the file .classpath_win32_mozilla
inside the project org.eclipse.swt. Rename this file to .classpath . The
org.eclipse.swt project is rebuilt and the Browser widget is now using the
Mozilla browser.
- continue with the other steps (get the org.eclipse.swt.win32 project
etc.)

Chris,
This turned out to be quite useful until the line:

set the .classpath using .classpath_win32_mozilla

In my project, I can open the .classpath, but, I must confess, I'm at a
loss to know how to add ".classpath_win32_mozilla" to it.

Could you sketch what that would look like?  BTW: the values for PATH given
in  the report:
C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla;C:\Program Files\Common
Files\mozilla.org\GRE\1.4f_2003062408 are almost precisely those on my
installation (not sure about the final number on the GRE.

Thanks
Jack

Hi Jack,

(as you already know) As outlined in the SWT FAQ below, the Browser widget
on Windows platforms is only supported with IE.
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-swt-home/faq.html#browserwindows

This said, it is currently possible to build the Browser widget on Windows
so that it uses Mozilla. Instructions are available at:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=41840 .

If you believe supporting Mozilla on Windows is important to your project,
please reopen bug 41840 and add your vote to it...

As a new person to this list, I hope this question is no redundant.
Google doesn't think so.

I just got the Browser widget working (windows). It is seriously cool!
Thanks to those who created it. I had spent the weekend trying to get
WebClient to work with SWT, all the way down to an assertion fault in
the dll -- out of my depth.

In any case, I think there is great reason to request that the Windows
version of Browser have the option of opening Mozilla instead of IE.
Any thoughts on this possibility?

Many thanks.
Jack
