918915 - XULRunner 24 runtime download for OS X appears to be missing required libraries

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit Graveyard :: XULRunner, defect)

Description

[Grant Gayed]

I'm adding support for XULRunner 24 to the SWT Browser control.  It has gone fine on Windows and Linux, but on OS X the download at the referenced url is missing its "xul" library, which is what we glue to on the other platforms.  It looks like it was missing in the XULRunner 22 and 23 builds on OS X as well, and prior to this we could glue to its "xpcom" library.  Am I missing something here, or is the posted XULRunner 24 download currently not usable for embedding on OS X?

Side question: Since XULRunner 24 SDKs are posted for both x86 and x86_64, why isn't there a runtime posted for x86_64?  SWT's users would greatly benefit from this, because recent JRE releases on Mac (and consequently us as well) only run as a 64-bit apps.

XUL.framework/Versions/Current/XUL appears to be present in that archive as in previous archives. And XULRunner is a universal binary:
