Hi,

Is it possible to do this sort of thing in a single-sourced RCP/RAP application?

@Ian Finally found the time to try this out. Cool example, thank you very much. Finally I have a tool to get the geocoordinates for any location.

@shudong I believe SWT.MOZILLA required XULrunner to be installed.

I don’t know much about how this is handled on Windows, but I know you need to have XPCom properly setup for SWT.MOZILLA to work. There is some information in the FAQ http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#howusejavaxpcom. If this fails, you should try the SWT newsgroup.

I tried to create browser as SWT.MOZILLA and tried this feature,

but if I use SWT.NONE, it works fine

I got several questions about this Javascript bridge:
1. On windows platform, when the browser was created as SWT.NONE, it relies on IE core. But on linux, which engine will it rely on?

2. It seems when the browser was created as SWT.MOZILLA, it doesn’t rely on FireFox but XULRunner, so how can I use the latest features of Firefox 3.5?

3. Can I use SWT without X11?

I like this feature too. Been using it with BIRT reports.

I read about this feature but I did not grasp the reach of it. This is seriously cool! Great work Grant Gayed!

Great! I was waiting for this. For those of you who have a portable Firefox or none installed.
Use “new Browser(sash, SWT.NONE);” instead of “new Browser(sash, SWT.MOZILLA);”
