As I remember this error occurs on Linux when the initialization code in
Mozilla.java is called before the System Path to the location of XULRunner
is set. The initialization code in Mozilla.java is only executed once per
workspace start. The code is in create method
public void create (Composite parent, int style) {
delegate = new MozillaDelegate (browser);
Display display = parent.getDisplay ();
int /*long*/[] result = new int /*long*/[1];
if (!Initialized) {
the variable Initialized controls when the initialization code is run. The
first time anybody create a browser component the initialization code is
run. For instance, the initial welcome page that shows the first time a
workbench started is a browser component. This will cause the
initialization code to run when the workbench is first started, but before
you set the XULRunner System Path variable. The problem will not occur
when XULRunner is register using ---register-global, since SWT can find
XULRunner when the first browser component is created. You need to make
sure that you get the System Path set before any browser component is
created not just browser components you create.

Do you have problem on Linux ?
Or windows?

Philippe:
Thanks for the information. I've been digging through the Mozilla.create
method and that works fine. I have a browser editor, much like ATF, that
sets up the mozilla browser. The first two lines are:
final Browser browser = new Browser(parent, SWT.MOZILLA);
final nsIWebBrowser webBrowser = (nsIWebBrowser)
browser.getWebBrowser();
The webBrowser turns out to be null and, upon debugging, I find that I get
an InvocationTargetException in the getWebBrowser() method. The relevant
code is:
Class clazz = Class.forName ("org.mozilla.xpcom.Mozilla");
//$NON-NLS-1$
Method method = clazz.getMethod ("getInstance", new
Class[0]); //$NON-NLS-1$
Object mozilla = method.invoke (null, new Object[0]);
method = clazz.getMethod ("wrapXPCOMObject", new Class[]
{Long.TYPE, String.class}); //$NON-NLS-1$
webBrowserObject = method.invoke (mozilla, new Object[] {
new Long (webBrowser.getAddress ()), nsIWebBrowser.NS_IWEBBROWSER_IID_STR
});
return webBrowserObject;
The exception happens at line 1258, webBrowserObject = method.invoke...Of
course, there's nothing in the catch blocks so I have no idea regarding
the root cause of the InvocationTargetException.
So, it's not in the Mozilla.create method I'm having the problem.
I have no problem if I register the xulrunner installation via
--register-global.

Hey Mike, no it is perfectly appropriate.
Xulrunner does not have to be registered.
When a Browser with SWT.MOZILLA style is instantiated, a suitable
Xulrunner
is searched, from the most specific to the least specific.
The code is in the SWt method Mozilla.create (Composite parent, int style)
here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt/Eclipse%20SWT%20Moz
illa/common/org/eclipse/swt/browser/Mozilla.java?revision=1.67&view=markup
The search sequence is roughly: (check the code for exact details)
- lookup a xulrunner at the location contained in the System property:
org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath
- if not defined, try to initiallized a xulrunner that is registered
(globally or user, usually global)
- if failing then fallback to the mozilla pointed by the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
envrionment variable.
if everything fails (including not finding an embeddable mozilla runtine
or
xulrunner that is embeddable and satifies the versions constraints
(GreVersionRange), then fail.
Therefore the way ATF does it is to provide an extension point such that:
- we can ship a xulrunner as an OSGI bundle
- the extension markup points inside that bundle that contains a proper
xulrunner
- the extension looks that up and if found, creates the
org.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath sys prop. It tries to do that at
startup time, so that we can be the very first to initialize a xulrunner.
The first code to instantiates a xulrunner wins. we do for now.
Then we just instantiate the browser widget when needed, and the sequence
is
that defined in SWT, taking into account our system property.
