If say about future usage of XR, possibly it will be good to move on webkit, which eclipse have support too.
Possible, but this one too has some problems:
The runtime requirements for using WebKit-based Browsers are listed below. Note that failure to meet these runtime requirements will cause the Browser instantiation to fail.
- Windows:
- 32-bit SWT
- Safari must be installed
- For OSs older than XP+SP1, the path to the Apple Application Support installation must be prepended to Windows' "Path" environment variable before running eclipse. This installation will be in a location like "
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support".
- Linux: WebKitGTK 1.2.0 or newer must be in the library load path. Examples of Linux distros that meet this requirement by default include Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Ubuntu 10.04.
- OS X: No additional runtime requirements, the default renderer is WebKit-based.
See: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#howusewebkit
So even though I would personally prefer this as an OS X user, it seems that the 32-bit SWT requirement for Windows is a killer letdown here.
