             Summary: Need to remove xulrunner dependency from VPV
                 Key: JBIDE-23425
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-23425
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: visual-page-editor-core, xulrunner
    Affects Versions: 4.4.2.AM1
            Reporter: Ilya Buziuk
            Assignee: Ilya Buziuk
             Fix For: 4.4.2.Final


Basically, there are following plugins that provides HTML5 preview facilities:

- *org.jboss.tools.vpe.preview* - separate editor agnostic view with HTML5 support [1]
- *org.jboss.tools.vpe.preview.editor* - provides part with HTML5 preview to VPE. 
- *org.jboss.tools.vpe.preview.core* - common code shared among *.preview and *.editor bundles.

Currently, *org.jboss.tools.vpe.preview.core* has dependency on *org.jboss.tools.vpe.xulrunner* for *XulRunnerErrorWrapper* class in order to process Xulrunner specific errors i.e. GTK / Xulrunner detection etc. So, it would be quite easy to remove this dependency from *.core* bundle in order to make HTML5 preview[1] Xulrunner independent. However, *.editor* bundle already has dependency on *org.jboss.tools.vpe* (require xulrunner, xpcom etc.) and this dependence can not be removed. The only idea that comes to my mind is having two separate feature for HTML5 preview[1] (no xulrunner dependency - can be included to rpm) and Visual Page Viewer (with xulrunner dependency).
