Tooltips in JBoss Central crash in Windows 7 64bits
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-9976
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9976
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: central
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0.M4
         Environment: Windows 7 64bits, JDK 7 64bits
            Reporter: Fred Bricon
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 3.3.0.M4


When JBoss Central is open, if the mouse cursor hovers over the News feed, a SWT error occurs :

{noformat}
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [Could not detect registered XULRunner to use]
	at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4308)
	at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Mozilla.create(Mozilla.java:683)
	at org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser.<init>(Browser.java:99)
	at org.jboss.tools.central.editors.FeedsToolTip.createToolTipContentArea(FeedsToolTip.java:173)
{noformat}

Following the error popup, another window is opened, asking :
{noformat}
An SWT error has occurred. 
You are recommended to exit the workbench. Subsequent errors may happen and exit the workbench without warning. 
See the .log file for more details. 
Do you want to exit the workbench? 
(Yes / No)
{noformat}

Since xulrunner is not compatible with 64bits JVM on Windows, this is not surprising. 

I guess if can't find another to display the tooltips (not using a browser), they should not be displayed at all (if xulrunner is missing).
