Stable vw.next build
Usage
Supported platforms:
- Windows
- Linux (except GTK L&F due the issue mentioned bellow)
- Solaris (Intel only for now, Sparc will be ready later)
- Mac
Minimal is to use JDK 6, the best is to use JDK 7.
It doesn't work on JDK 5 and less!
At this moment you can try out the Embedded Browser following ways:
- As URL Displayer (pure browser window)
Go to the Tools | Options and pick Embedded Browser (dev version) as your browser. After that all requests via URL displayer will be shown in the Embedded Browser.
One possible scenario is to do browser preview from old designer.
- As Designer (browser window with designtime+editing capabilities)
Creat web application project, and create HTML page. After you open the HTML page, there will appear two tabs Design and Source, the Design contains the Embedded Browser window with editing capabilities.
There is ongoing work on stabilization and also providing the editing features. Currently there are following issues or tasks which are not finished yet:
You can see them under the Embedded Browser Umbrella Issue .
Issues
- Problems with designer on GTK Look and Feel: It is unstable and Michal is working on it. All other Look and Feels should be OK at this moment. If you are on platform with GTK, please use --laf switch to pick other Look and Feel, either Metal or Motif for now.
- Editor cursor is not working well, i.e. it doesn't follow the actual location
Unfinished Tasks
- DnD is not finished yet. But the DnD from palette will change the source.
