Konstantin Marmalyukov commented on JBIDE-18519:
------------------------------------------------

{quote}On RHEL 7 when BrowserSim is run with GTK2 and Oracle Java 8 it's not possible to run BrowserSim with SWT.WebKit engine that's correct regarding to JBIDE-18588 is it?{quote}
absolutely correct.

The problem was in founding brief and informative error message, which we can place there. Thus we decide to leave everything as it is and document it in FAQ

> In browsersim properties, GTK2 is the default - and if a RHEL6 user uses Java 1.7 JDK or Java 1.8 on RHEL6 - browsersim seems to function correctly.
> But - is a user attempts to configure GTK3 (with either Oracle 1.7 or 1.8) - in the browsersim properties, browsersim fails to open with this error:
> "To use BrowserSim please install webkitgtk 1.2.0 or higher or run BrowserSim with Oracle Java 7u7 and higher."
> Also see <a href="http://tools.jboss.org/documentation/faq/browsersim.html">BrowserSim FAQ</a>.
> Stack trace:
> org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: To use BrowserSim please install webkitgtk 1.2.0 or higher or run BrowserSim with Oracle Java 7u7 and higher.
> at org.jbos
> The error is displayed even though this package is installed: 
> webkitgtk-1.2.6-5.el6.x86_64
