[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: SWT Browser doesnt load applets in Linux

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This works for me on RHEL4 with the following:

MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox-1.0
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox-1.0 (note that you didn't have this
variable set, perhaps this is the difference)
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=~/jre160_04/plugin/i386/ns7

Also note that you shouldn't generally need to set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH anymore.  If there's a xulrunner installed on your machine
then it should be magically detected, and even if there isn't, the eclipse
launcher should detect an available firefox in /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.12 and
set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly.  The case where
setting these variables is more common is when running a stand-alone swt app
that doesn't use the eclipse launcher to start, on an old linux that doesn't
ship with xulrunner.

HTH,
Grant
