Hello all,

I have written a WebKitExtension to handle custom JavaScript injection for the Eclipse SWT Browser, but I have run into the following deadlock scenario while running the test suite:

A new WebView is created in the UI process this requires some handling in the Web process which eventually sends a synchronous message to the UI process and blocks to wait for the reply. The message results in a "create" signal in the WebView which in Eclipse code is forwarded to observers. Now if an observer tries to do anything which results in an attempt to inject custom JS this is forwarded to the WebExtension which is blocked because the Web Process is blocked since the signal handler has not yet returned.

My questions are has anyone else run into this problem ? And if I were to create a thread in the extension to handle messages from the UI process would it be safe to call core API from a second thread. Specifically JS* functions.

Thanks a lot,
  Sami
