[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-5418) Provide xulrunner eclipse bundle for OSX cocoa x86_64

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-5418?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Yahor Radtsevich commented on JBIDE-5418: ----------------------------------------- {quote}Would simply copying this bundles to the xulrunner module and add it to the feature (with right platform filter) work?{quote} It should not work this way because of two reasons: * VPE does not even try to load on OS X 64-bit. There are several places in the sources which should be changed. * Now VPE uses XULRunner 1.9.2. It is very likely that JavaXPCOM API is changed in XULRunner 1.9.3. This may lead to JVM crashes. {quote}For more consistency, we should rename org.mozilla.xulrunner.cocoa.macosx to org.mozilla.xulrunner.cocoa.macosx.x86 and adapt VPE to use this convention, so we'll easily be able to give a try to some org.mozilla.xulrunner.cocoa.maxosx.x86_64 or org.mozilla.xulrunner.win32.win32.x86_64 bundles by just adding them to a JBT or JBDS runtime.{quote} For XULRunner bundles we use the same naming convention as Eclipse uses for SWT bundles (e.g. {{org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx}} and {{org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64}}). {quote}Also, I noticed that current org.mozilla.xulrunner.cocoa.maxosx works for both x86 and ppc arch. Have we tried to run it against an x86_64? Maybe OSX has some magic that will get linkage working.{quote} Did not know it. Probably, this is why they do not add that x86 suffix. And yes, we tried x86 bundles on OSX in 64-bit mode, they do not work. Anyway, I consider the support of 64-bit OS X as a feature to be implemented _after_ 4.0.0 release (if possible). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
