great - lets get involved on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=405031 and
ask into those things. I assume you would like they provide api to enable/disable
javascript debugging support and other features ? Lets speak up and see how they
react and if possible do PR's for it.

About bundling CEF3 then we have bundle xulrunner for years thus I think
bundling CEF3 (unless its a monster download? :) is ok too - especially
if it will give us a working browsersim on some of the platforms we don't
support yet.

Yeah, they responded similar on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=405029
so thats good.
