Re: [jbosstools-dev] Do we still need our own XulRunner?

My starting points were those 2 issues: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12455 (existing profiles for macosx, to run tests using a 32-bits JVM apparently because of XulRunner) https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-5418 (general issue about XulRunner and MacOSX Cocoa 64-bits) I've asked Eclipse forums on this topic and it appears that SWT ships its own version of XulRunner as part of the SWT platform-specific fragments: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/377759/915713/#msg_915713 Then I'm wondering why use a copy of XulRunner? Is it still necessary? If SWT has a XulRunner for Cocoa 64bits, why do we have specific profiles to use 32bits? SWT ships libraries for XULRunner support only, it does not ship XULRunner itself.

Any help is welcome, and even more that help, some tests on Cocoa 64 bits! We can not run any XULRunner/VPE tests on Cocoa 64-bit, unless we build/find a stable XULRunner 1.9.x for it.
