Isaac Rooskov updated JBIDE-9188:
---------------------------------

    Release Notes Text: Under some operating systems, JBoss Developer Studio can crash when using the Visual Page Editor. This error occurs because  of a conflict between WebKit and XULRunner. For operating systems where this conflict is sure to occur, you may notice that XULRunner is disabled automatically. However if you do notice this error occurring (current affected operating systems may include Fedora 64bit and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64bit), you can add the workaround option -Dorg.jboss.tools.vpe.loadxulrunner=false to jbdevstudio.ini, that will disable XULRunner. When XULRunner is disabled, you will notice the message Could not open the Visual Page Editor: Embedded XULRunner is disabled by the option '-Dorg.jboss.tools.vpe.loadxulrunner=false' is displayed in the visual section of the Visual Page Editor. All other components of the JBoss Developer Studio will continue to work as expected.  (was: Under some operating systems, JBoss Developer Studio can crash when using the Visual Page Editor.

> Since we keep having OS's where xulrunner is having problems we should inlcude a way to disable it loading even though we have xul binaries available for it.
> I suggest we look for system property: org.jboss.tools.vpe.loadvisualeditor if it is true (default) then we attempt to load the VPE as usual, but if false then we skip that page just as if the binaries were not available.
> that would allow you do to eclipse -Dorg.jboss.tools.vpe.loadvisualeditor=false 
> Things to consider: if this property is set I guess xulrunner initializer should also not do anything ?
> *Update:*
> The property is named {{-Dorg.jboss.tools.vpe.loadxulrunner=false}}
