Ilya Buziuk commented on JBDS-3676:
-----------------------------------

[~jrichter1], Basically, the situation is the following - BroweserSim / CordovaSim supports two types of web engines *JavaFx* and *SWT.WEBKIT*. For now Azul opejdk does not include javafx / openfx - https://support.azul.com/hc/communities/public/questions/203202723-OpenJFX?locale=en-us So, at this point JavaFx web engine will not be supported OOTB (at least till Azul includes openfx bundles).  In terms of *SWT.WEBKIT* - in order to use this engine x32 JDK and Safari for Windows are required. Azul does not have x32 version in producion yet. However, there is a [Zulu Embedded ARM32 Early Access Program| http://info.azul.com/2015-WEB-DL-Zulu-Embedded-Registration-LP.html]  which I have subscribed for (it was claimed that I will be contacted within 24 hours - so might get x32 openjdk soon ;-) - will let you know as soon as get it and test BrowserSim against it).

For now the workaround is adding Oracle jdk to the Installed JRE section (just as the error message says) via Window → Preferences → JBoss Tools → BrowserSim/CordovaSim and running against it
