[Yahor Radtsevich (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9188?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12640150#comment-12640150 ] 

Yahor Radtsevich commented on JBIDE-9188:
-----------------------------------------

Isaac, the following sentence in the release notes is not correct:
{quote}
For operating systems where this conflict is sure to occur, you may notice that XULRunner is disabled automatically.
{quote}
Actually, XULRunner currently is disabled only on the OSes which are not supported by it (on the OSes where we do not have XULRunner binaries). This is not related to the issue between XULRunner and WebKit. I would delete this sentence from the release notes.

> 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}}
