Mikhail Kalkov commented on JBIDE-2720:
---------------------------------------

If I had to switch today, I'd prototype in Evolus Pencil (a standalone wireframing tool based on XulRunner) followed by manual translation into HTML&JS. In longer run, I would move to a wireframing tool that supports direct HTML export. I'm sure there must be such (likely proprietary and paid) tools out there, but haven't bothered to look for them so far. After all, it's not something I'm doing all day long. My workflow looks like this: got to create a UI -> prototype one quickly -> get feedback -> code it in html -> get feedback -> polish it. VPE and BrowserSim provide a shortcut because they make it possible to prototype directly in HTML.

Thanks for explaining the browser engine dilemma. As for 64-bit Windows support, you have probably discussed this already, but is it possible to ask Intel to fix their library or workaround the issue through some kind of [DLL injection|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLL_Injection]? I also recall that on my previous job we had similar issues with Citrix XenApp server, which [replaced some MS dlls with their own variants|http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX107824]. So, theoretically there may be other applications apart from Intel OpenCL SDK which may lead to crashes. I have neither Citrix XenApp nor Intel OpenCL SDK installed so cannot confirm this.

[~nickboldt], thanks for the new repo, I've updated and it seems to work! Would you update the FAQ entry too? https://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBosstoolsVisualEditorFAQ

> 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.
