[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17230) Resolve GTK and BrowserSim web engine paradox

Michelle Murray created JBIDE-17230: --------------------------------------- Summary: Resolve GTK and BrowserSim web engine paradox Key: JBIDE-17230 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17230 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Enhancement Components: browsersim Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta1 Reporter: Michelle Murray BrowserSim can be run with 2 web engines: JavaFX or SWT WebKit. On Mac OS X, under preferences I don't see an option to change the web engine for BrowserSim. I assume it is running with JavaFX - is that right? On Windows?? I don't have a windows system to test. On Linux-based OS, the web engine to use depends on the GTK with which BrowserSim is run. GTK2 = JavaFX and GTK3 = SWT WebKit. There are additional restrictions based on OS with respect to this: * JavaFX requires Oracle JDK - this JDK is only supported by Red Hat on RHEL, not Fedora or Ubuntu so this option is pointless for the majority of Linux OS we support * On Fedora at least I have to run the IDE with GTK2 to avoid issues (export SWT_GTK3=0); running BrowserSim with GTK3 I see at least one UI issue in the BrowserSim Preferences window The potential paradox: * We are advising Fedora users to run IDE under GTK2 to avoid seeing UI issues but they must run BrowserSim under GTK3 so see UI issues -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.3#6260)
