[Alexander Kurtakov (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16280?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12932102#comment-12932102 ] 

Alexander Kurtakov commented on JBIDE-16280:
--------------------------------------------

Xulrunner is not ported to GTK 3 itself. There is not much eclipse can do about it. Plus Xulrunner itself no longer provides any notion of stable API so SWT will always support some limited version number until people get tired of constantly fixing compatibility with the next version. See http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserlinux for list of suppported versions. Fedora currently ships with Xulrunner 25.0 and in the Eclipse package shipped with fedora swt/xulrunner intergration is not compiled in as noone has any interest in fixing it. Speaking with my SWT hat on lobbying at Eclipse would not make a difference unless this lobbying comes with patches as the number of pending issues are way more important than xulrunner.
