[platform-swt-dev] How XULRunner's deprecation affects SWT Browser

[Kavith Lokuhewage <kaviththiranga@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Devs,

We were doing some work with SWTBrowser and XUL Runner to implement a web UI based editor for an Eclipse RCP based application. Since this product was targeted for cross platform users, we thought of embedding XULRunner with it to make sure this web based editor works smoothly in each OS and no additional steps needed from users to get it working properly. 

However, we can see that XULRunner is now deprecated and no longer maintained by MDN. How will this affect SWT Browser development? Is there an alternative for those apps which already use XUL Runner? Just wanted to get an idea about the impact for those who already use XULRunner and future of them - before going forward with the project. 

Thanks,
