Embedd XulRunner #104

Closed paulbicheler closed 11 years ago

This should avoid some problems that swt uses the native browser and that our webgui needs to be 100% conform to any of the possible browsers. Support for xulrunner has made it to the 64 bit versions of swt as of recently: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/R4_3/new_and_noteworthy.html

After some research, I believe that it would not be a good idea to use the XulRunner under Windows. In fact, it looks like Internet Explorer renders large collections (in our case at least) faster than Firefox.

Furthermore, the reliance on XulRunner will lead to configuration issues which can be avoided by using the native browser engine. I will close this issue for now as we will try to make the UI work under all browsers.
