Michelle Murray updated JBIDE-17230:
------------------------------------
Description:
Within Window>Preferences>JBoss Tools>BrowserSim/CordovaSim, selecting GTK for
BrowserSim seems to be available for Linux-based OS only.
I can choose GTK2 or GTK3.
I'm running the IDE under GTK2 (export SWT_GTK3=0) to avoid UI issues. So I select to
run BrowserSim also under GTK2 - seems sensible. But when I start BrowserSim I see the
error message stating
was:
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
Resolve GTK and BrowserSim web engine paradox
