    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-2720?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12932062#comment-12932062 ] 

Carsten Pfeiffer commented on JBIDE-2720:
-----------------------------------------

[~kmarmaliykov] Yes, this patch is for xulrunner. It changes the link process for the javascript library in xulrunner to add a manifest to the resulting dll. You don't actually need to rebuild all of xulrunner. You could also manually invoke mt.exe to add the manifest (which is being created during build, but not added to the dll). For details see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235591.aspx

If this is too uncomfortable for you, you can just rebuild xulrunner with the patch applied.

[~dagz213] I don't have the time to explain how to build the entire xulrunner, but there is plenty of information from Mozilla. See e.g.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Developer_Guide/Source_Code and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Configuring_Build_Options for a start.

> If you use a 64-bit JVM, the XULRunner parts of JBoss Tools does not load.
> We should look into providing a xulrunner for Windows 64-bit.
> *Update:*
> In JBoss Tools 4.1.0 and JBoss Developer Studio 7.0.0 XULRunner for 64-bit Windows is provided via experimental update site: http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/integration/kepler/core/xulrunner/
> {color:red}*Known problems:*{color}
> * XULRunner for 64-bit Windows is incompatible with Intel OpenCL SDK
> *If you get [R6034 error|https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-2720?focusedCommentId=12771694&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-12771694] you may:*
> * Try to uninstall Intel OpenCL SDK
> * *OR* Disable XULRunner by adding the option {{-Dorg.jboss.tools.vpe.loadxulrunner=false}} to the {{eclipse.ini}} (or {{jbdevstudio.ini}} if you use JBoss Developer Studio)
> If you do not have Intel OpenCL SDK installed but still getting the R6034 error, we will very appreciate if you run Process Explorer as described in [this comment|https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-2720?focusedCommentId=12772250&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-12772250] and help us to find conflicting library.
