It's much more stable, for now we should for example disable attribute

In XR 1.9 also exists additional styles (inline-table, which will be

For now we have founded following issue related to XR1.8
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-1719
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-1536
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3353
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3969
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3993
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2571
partially https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-1119

We doesn't need binary build of xulrunner, just create eclipse bundles.
