    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TOOLSDOC-137?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12680350#comment-12680350 ] 

Len DiMaggio commented on TOOLSDOC-137:
---------------------------------------

Isaac, where is this documented for the 3.3.0/5.0 users?

I'm thinking that we need a simple, and consistent description of this error in the user docs and on https://devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess/

Maybe something like:

{color:blue} 
The Visual Page Editor (VPE) does not run on 64-bit Windows or Mac platforms. While the source editor does work, visual editing & preview do not. The cause of the problem is that the x86 org.mozilla.xulrunner plugin is not present. The error message that you'll see in these situations looks like this:

"Could not open the Visual Page Editor: Bundle org.mozilla.xulrunner.x86 is not found"

To use the visual editing and preview features of the VPE on 64-bit Windows or Mac platforms, you have to use the 32-bit version of JBDS with a 32-bit JDK.

What do you think?
