Embedded Browser - MozSwing

Embedded browser planned for NetBeans 6.8 is based on MozSwing component which uses native XUL Runner binaries to create native browser window. The test build is available here. The following issues need to be tested:

Supported platforms

MozSwing doesn't support all operating systems, JDK versions and processor architectures. Unsupported are all 64-bit operating systems, Linux with JDK 1.5, Linux with JDK < 1.6.0_14 and GTK Look And Feel. There might be other unsupported platforms (e.g. OpenJDK, some exotic Unix OS etc)

Stability

MozSwing has some reported problems when many embedded browser windows are opened. Please try opening many browser windows (each link opens a new browser tab) and watch for process crashes and/or performance issues.

Heavy x lightweight mixing

Embedded browser is a heavyweight component while most of the NetBeans IDE are lightweight Swing components which may not paint correctly overy the heavyweight browser. Please check the behavior of sliding windows, popup menus, combo boxes etc.

Event handling

Test shortcut handling and focus traversal when in browser window.

Content rendering

Check how HTML content is rendered - Flash videos, popup windows, JavaScript execution etc.

Note: After unpacking the test build zip file it is necessary to rename file <netbeans>/ide11/modules/ext/xulrunner-macosx-i386.zip to <netbeans>/ide11/modules/ext/xulrunner-macosx.zip

Test Report

Test cases:

STANDARD

• IDELink - click on links in IDE (Start Page, other)
• GOTOP - go to page/write address in address field and enter (www.netbeans.org,wiki.netbeans.org,kenai.com+login,pasted random page with long URL)
• BADFRM - bad formatted address entered
• RFRSH - refresh in various scenarios,repeated refresh
• MOVE - move browser in IDE / dock / undock / resize
• DEP - deploy application / view HTML page
• CHECK - Check controls - forward,back,stop,change tab, history
• DISP - display pop-up window
• MULT - multiple browser tabs,switching,refresh
• TIME - time element,letting buffered events to fire

OPTIONAL

• DOWN - set EB in Options and downloaded (this feature was removed and in current builds are Download buttons missing)
