[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Which browser is used as internal?

Omega,
you're right, by default Linux systems use Mozilla and Windows uses IE. 
The logic used to select the impl is in org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Browser 
constructor.
In your own code you could explicitly choose implementation by using 
style flag (SWT.MOZILLA), but in Internal Web Browser it's impossible.
