Status of XULRunner Plugin?

[sarikan]

Dear all,
I've been working on displaying context based documentation in a plugin I'm developing.
I have the documentation in XML format, so my best bet seems to be displaying it using SWT browser component. However, I want to use Firefox, not IE, and creating the browser component with SWT.Mozilla requires that XULRunner is available. I don't want to tell users to download and install it, I'd rather deploy it as a seperate plugin. MyEclipse IDE for example contains this, and ATF project also points to an update site under Mozilla, which unfortunately is not working with Ganymede
So, assuming XULRunner is the only way I have towards using Firefox in SWT Browser component, can I find a recent version of XULRunner plugin?
If you have other suggestions to implement what I have in mind, I'd appreciate your comments.

Best Regards
Seref Arikan

Hi Seref,

The eclipse xulrunner plug-ins at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.8.1.3/contrib/eclipse/plugins/ are the latest that are available (note that they were not created by eclipse.org).  They work, if that's what you mean by what their status is.  I'm not aware of any current efforts to create new ones for xulrunner 1.9 or 1.9.1.

Hi Grant
Many thanks for the response. It appears I was on my way to reinventing the wheel. Eclipse's user assistance framework and context sensitive help type of documentation look relevant to what I want to do. It is context sensitive help in response to particula ui actions. I hope I can handle it that way, without having to deal with displaying browsers etc.

Kind regards
Seref
