Build Identifier: Eclipse 3.5+

When using the SWT Browser widget on Mac OS X (the one that uses WebKit as the underlying renderer), any cookies set in Safari (external) are picked up by the SWT Browser. Conversely, any cookies set or cleared by the SWT Browser causes external Safari to be  affected.

An option should be added to not share cookies between the SWT Browser and Safari. This would be very helpful when using the SWT Browser for OAuth-type login.

Here's a project by Google that allows developers to Webkit as the renderer for an embedded user interface. Some mods have been made to prevent Webkit from using the global cookie storage (shared with Safari):

Reproducible: Always
