[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-11179) BrowserSim - add a view source option

[Yahor Radtsevich (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11179?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12675904#comment-12675904 ] 

Yahor Radtsevich commented on JBIDE-11179:
------------------------------------------

We do not have access to use webkits/safaris view source option. It seems we have to implement it ourself.

There are two ways to implement such viewer:
# We can just show the browser code in a simple SWT dialog.
# BrowserSim can communicate with Eclipse via console, so we could pass back to Eclipse either original file URL (if it begins with file://), or even the whole HTML source.

#2 requires much more work and, possibly, also creation of a new Eclipse Viewer/Editor.

> The browsersim is particularly important for Windows users who do not have the iOS Simulator that ships with XCode.  And while the Windows user does have access to Android's simulator, it is very slow and tricky to install & use.   
> One way for a new mobile web developer to learn is via the traditional (mid 1990's) learning "tool" - view source - visit a page that you like and select view source to see how it was built.  
> Having view source in the browsersim would be valuable - otherwise the Windows end-user needs to install Safari for this "use case".
