Open list of bugs to vote for in the Eclipse bugzilla system

There has not been too much activity on the Eclipse bugzilla system lately, related to the bugs we (Christopher Deckers and myself) uncovered with our port of the DJ-NativeSwing library in the Browser Suite for Servoy… so I’m putting here a list of direct links to the opened bugs asking you to vote for their resolutions if you intend to use the Browser Suite in the future, because you (or your client) will be affected by them.

These ones are all Mac OS X related (but surely you have Mac clients too?):
- https://bugs.eclipse … ow_bug.cgi?id=291326
[SWT/AWT] Freeze when making a sync SWT call in response to certain Swing events - WAITING

- https://bugs.eclipse … ow_bug.cgi?id=291705
SWT_AWT: new Browser SWT.MOZILLA gives NPE in MozillaDelegate - NOW FIXED!

- https://bugs.eclipse … ow_bug.cgi?id=291328
[SWT_AWT] NPE when accessing a browser custom context menu - WAITING

- https://bugs.eclipse … ow_bug.cgi?id=295795
[SWT_AWT] Popup menu in browser freezes app - WAITING

- https://bugs.eclipse … ow_bug.cgi?id=295794
[SWT_AWT] App freezes when tooltips are called in browser - NOW FIXED!

- https://bugs.eclipse … ow_bug.cgi?id=295792
[SWT] Browser issue: open a window from link or script doesn’t work - FIXED IN SWT- pending in DJNativeSwing

- https://bugs.eclipse … ow_bug.cgi?id=293276
[Browser] SWT_AWT: can’t type in MOZILLA Browser HTML fields - NOW FIXED!

These ones are Windows specific and might or might not affect you or your users:
- https://bugs.eclipse … ow_bug.cgi?id=221235
[Browser-IE] VisibilityWindowListener.show() is not called - WAITING - But in the Browser Suite, a workaround (opening modeless dialogs) is implemented

- https://bugs.eclipse … how_bug.cgi?id=90023
Browser 3D content border not consistent - WAITING - But minor issue (almost unnoticeable)

- https://bugs.eclipse … how_bug.cgi?id=84532
[browser] Browser widget does not send focus events - WAITING - But not used in the Browser Suite

On Linux there is this one that I know of:
- https://bugs.eclipse … ow_bug.cgi?id=225401
[SWT_AWT] Removing the AWT Canvas generates a Gtk-CRITICAL message - FIXED

For all platform, this one fix could also help:
- https://bugs.eclipse … ow_bug.cgi?id=292062
Provide a way to dynamically introspect an SWT port info - WAITING - In the meantime a workaround has been implement in DJNativeSwing

Voting for the resolution of these bugs is as easy as registering on the Eclipse bugzilla system (you won’t get any spam from them!), and clicking on the ‘vote’ link on the pages above, so I say it again: if you intend to use the browser suite in the near future, it is impotant that these bugs are fixed, otherwise you or your clients will suffer from them…

You can also comment if you like, stating that these bugs are actually delaying the need you have of an SWT port on Servoy, this will be true.

Thanks in advance!
