[jbosstools-dev] SWT XulRunner 17 + Webkit - Fwd: [eclipse-dev] Eclipse project Kepler plan updated

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hi guys,

I just saw this on eclipse-dev where SWT Browser is being suggested to be updated.

" (new) SWT browser currency. Significant work is required in the SWT browser widget to support the latest browser runtimes. As part of this effort we will add browser support for XULRunner 17. We will also investigate supporting WebKit on Windows based on the Chromium CEF3 project. [SWT] (405029, 405031)"

What does that mean for us ?

If they do this without contiuing to support older Xulrunners we could have problems, right?

webkit/chromium sounds like a good thing for us.
