[jbosstools-dev] Xulrunner and jQuery Mobile 1.3

[Alexey Kazakov]

Hi,

As you know we are working on wizards for our new jQuery Mobile palette: 
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13413
The wizards have a visual preview. We use the SWT Browser for that. But 
there is a problem. It actually uses our bundled xulrunner from VPE 
which has a limit support of HTML5.
This browser works ok with jQuery Mobile 1.2 but doesn't work at all 
with 1.3.
If you don't have VPE installed in your Eclipse than this preview will 
work with 1.3 but if you do then the xulrunner from VPE will be used.
We found a workaround for this problem. Our wizards generate code for 
the latest jQuery Mobile 1.3 but we use 1.2 for visual preview. In some 
cases 1.2 and 1.3 behaves differently and we have to *simulate* jQuery 
1.3 widgets using 1.2 code for preview.
But I believe it's going to be a much bigger problem for future versions 
of jQuery Mobile.
It's not only about jQuery wizards actually. It's about all eclipse 
widgets which use swt browser.
