I'm developing an RCP application (Windows) with SWT.Browser (SWT.MOZILLA):
Browser browser = new Browser(parent, SWT.MOZILLA);
It's working fine with the old XULRunner 3.6.23 and the installation described here:
xulrunner.exe --register-global
I want to use the new XULRunner 8.x, but as mentioned here the old way to install XULRunner was removed.
So I added the XULRunner-Path programmatically:
System.setProperty("org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath", "Path\\To\\xulrunner_8.x");
But when I start my application, I'll get the following error
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: XPCOM error -2147467261
So what's the preferred way to embed XULRunner 8.x with an RCP application and avoiding this error?
As of Eclipse 3.8 / 4.2 M6 the org.eclipse.swt.browser now supports embedding XULRunner 10.0.x, but you must ship a XULRunner 10 runtime and explicitly point at it as described in the FAQ:
...
System.setProperty("org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath", "path\to\xulrunner_10");
...
The XULRunner 10 runtime can be downloaded from ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/10.0/runtimes/
JavaXPCOM
Mozilla is not maintaining JavaXPCOM anymore, but as Grant Gayed says:
The Browser does not require JavaXPCOM in order for it to work, it just exposes
it to apps that want to use it themselves through its getWebBrowser() method.
Linux
XULRunner 10 will currently not run under Linux because of Mozilla bug 720682.
For Windows you can also use the Internet-Explorer as browser until eclipse supports xulrunner correctly (will be in a 4.3.x version).
For IE:
just specify
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=ie,mozilla
at the eclipse.ini.
You can read more about it here.
I am running on windows7(64 bit) and have new xulrunner vresion:31.0.0 ([http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Download][1])
But when i try to give a path it given me error
System.setProperty("org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath", "path\to\xulrunner_31\");

Without that it showing IE 9.0 or with another xulunner which i not confirm from where get this is working fine but showing firefox version 5.0. Any idea how i can update with latest firefox version.
Eclipse_4.4.2 now supports XULRunner24.0, you can try this version.
