Visual part use Mozilla core, Linux version comming soon~

The first goal is provide the same functionality as v1.6.0
The plugin install requirement will change to:
  • JRE/JDK must be v1.5 or newer
  • Eclipse/WTP version (TBD... Currently, my development platform is Eclipse v3.5+ WTP v3.0)
  • XULRunner v1.9.1 (Mozilla runtime package) or newer
  • Required plugin "org.mozilla.rhino" change to "org.mozilla.javascript" (already included in WTP v3.1, it can be used with old version)


The XULRunner offer browser core engine, it support several platforms and more CSS3 support than IE. The bad news is Mozilla do NOT offer Win64 binary yet...

In my opinion, the Mozilla API is more useful and precise than IE. So I plan to stop IE core support in version 1.6.x. (This branch only include bug fix)

Please leave your comment here or email us.
Especially for Linux and Win64 user. Thank you.
