Description Christophe Cornu CLA 2003-08-21 18:41:39 EDT
At the time of this writing (Eclipse 3.0 M3),  as outlined in 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-swt-
home/faq.html#browserplatforms, the Browser widget uses IE on Windows. We 
don't ship a version of the Browser widget based on Mozilla on Windows. We 
don't support Mozilla on Windows. This said, we are testing the Mozilla 
binding on Linux and Windows as well - you can follow the steps below to give 
it a try yourself on Windows. This may be dropped in the future.

- have Mozilla 1.4 installed on your machine.
- set the path to include the GRE directory and the Mozilla directory
(on a default install this would be:
C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla;C:\Program Files\Common 
Files\mozilla.org\GRE\1.4f_2003062408
)
- start Eclipse
- get the org.eclipse.swt project from Eclipse.org
- set the .classpath using .classpath_win32_mozilla
- get the org.eclipse.swt.win32 project from Eclipse.org
- you can now use the SWT Browser widget embedding Mozilla in your own 
projects dependent on org.eclipse.swt.

FYI: I entered bug 79213 to request official support for Mozilla on Windows.
