What is that workaround ? I couldn't spot it in the comments.

They also depend on similar features of xulrunner that we do - if they 
already fixed some thing we can reuse if
it makes sense or if they fixed it bad not how to do it.

Anyhow, I went back through the archives and found the following issues 
to be what we have discussed before:

1) The Selection area as described above. If that only affects Mac and 
there is a maintainable workaround that should be fine.

2) Platform availability - can we get or produce a xulrunner 1.9 binary 
for all our supported platforms ? x86_64 bit ? Mac Cocoa/Carbon ?

3) Updatability - will users (of both jboss tools and JBDS) be able to 
update to xulrunner 1.9 via our updatesite  without conflicts to the SWT 
integration/hook/hack ?

If we can solve/verify these or at least find acceptable workarounds and 
there isn't any other known problems then lets move to XulRunner 1.9 
after M3 have been released.
