Re: [platform-ua-dev] Question about the embedded browser

[Grant Gayed <Grant_Gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There aren't any more 3.6.x stream releases
planned, and Eclipse was not able to apply the patch in bug 328609 to the
latest 3.6.x SWT content.  Even if the patch did apply, it uses several
new win32 calls, so swt's win32 library would need to be rebuilt as well.
 The ideal way to get the fixed behavior would be to move up to Eclipse
3.7 if possible (the 3.7RC3 release should be declared tomorrow, so Eclipse
3.7 "final" is pretty close).  If you're really stuck on
using 3.6.2 then I could look into attaching a patch against 3.6.2 to the
bug, and you could then build the swt plug-in with the fix on your end.

Note: "I" am not creating the browser, but the dynamic web project
creates it
when "Run on Server" is executed.

That being said, _javascript_ says: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows
NT
5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR
3.5.30729; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET4.0C; InfoPath.1)

That release does not have the issue. And it reports: 
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR
2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 1.1.4322;
.NET4.0C; InfoPath.1) 

Would this be a candidate for backporting to helios? If not officially
backported, do you think the patch would easily apply to helios?

It did, thanks.
