[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-9976) Tooltips in JBoss Central crash in Windows 7 64bits

[Fred Bricon (Updated) (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9976?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Fred Bricon updated JBIDE-9976:
-------------------------------

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