Description

When running the HEAD demo browser from WebStart the HTML control (for showing search results) is not visible at all. When running the STABLE demo browser from WebStart in the same environment the Swing HTML control is used instead of JDIC (is this normal?).

OS: Windows XP Professional
JDK: Sun JRE 1.6.0 (not sure for previous JREs)
Build: HEAD

This issue is caused by JDIC not found on java.library.path. It is specific to Java Web Start in 1.6+.

Hopefully fixed. Native JDIC browser will run only on Windows and will attempt to embed IE, even if firefox is your default browser.

JDIC implementation is spooky though. We should think about having an SWT browser as soon as possible...

Checked on J2SE 1.6 on Windows – after clearing the WebStart cache everything works ok (ie. IE is embedded to show the search results).
