--------------------------------------------------------------

I think it's not good to force user to use setup of his system to use requested web engine. User can easy have available both engines on his system but is not able to select one he wants.

To select rendering engine can be handy because of debugging. BrowserSim allows different debug tools dependent on selected web engine. (Firebug Lite and Weinre for SWT Web engine or Dev Tools for JavaFX)

If this argument is not strong enough just resolve this JIra as won't fix and I will close it.

> Add possibility to select BrowserSim rendering engine in Eclipse preferences.
> Right now it's possible only within BrowserSim preferences.
> Default engine is WebKit not javafx  and therefore user has to have installed Safari and 32bit java on 64 bit MS Windows to be able to run BrowserSim and set engine to javafx.
> It would be more user friendly to set engine within BrowserSim/CordovaSim Eclipse preferences section.
