             Summary: The webkit dbus IPC should use a private bus [EBZ#540060]
                 Key: ERT-771
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ERT-771
             Project: Eclipse Release Train
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Platform
            Reporter: Friendly Jira Robot


AIUI, the webkit dbus IPC currently tries to own the dbus namespace "org.eclipse.swt.<PID>" on the session bus.

This can't work when an SWT-based application is sandboxed with Flatpak because your PID is only guaranteed to be unique within the sandbox.

Because there are usually not many processes running inside the sandbox, it's actually highly likely (but not guaranteed) that a sandboxed process will be given a PID of 2.

This makes it entirely within the realm of possibility that two SWT-based applications will try to own the same namespace.

Please consider using a private bus for this feature.
