Now XULRunner is available for Windows 64-bit. We left its support to be
experimental because of a dll-incompatibilty
error<https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-2720?focusedCommentId=12771694&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-12771694>,
which may occur on some systems. So on 64-bit Windows the users need to
install it via a separate update site:
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/xulrunner-1.9.2_win64/all/repo/
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-2720
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14452

Yeah, it would be not bad to reword that statement while downloading.
