  • This version needs Eclipse 3.3 and WTP2.0 or more.
  • This version don't working with Eclipse 3.2 and WTP 1.5.
  • The last version compatible with Eclipse 3.2 and WTP 1.5 is the Xulbooster 0.1.7.

It's very easy to install XulBooster.

Before you begin, first check you have already a JRE 5.0 installed on your computer. If it's not the case, you must add it.

First Step (Eclipse and WTP): 

If you have already Eclipse 3.3 you can add the WTP 2.0 plugin with the Automatic installation.

In the contrary case the more easy is to download the Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project all-in-one (wtp-all-in-one-sdk-XXX-R-2.0.1-20070926042742) . Unpack Eclipse into a folder named eclipse4xul for example. Eclipse does not modify any system parameters, so it does not matter where it is installed. To start Eclipse, double-click on the Eclipse icon in the eclipse4xul directory.

Check that Eclipse use really the JRE 5.0: select the Help > About Eclipse SDK menu and click on Configuration Details.

If java.specification.version is not egual with 1.5 .xx then  eclipse use another jre (see java.home parameter). In this case the easy way is to reference the jre in the eclipse.ini file. In this file you must add and after restart eclipse:

-vm
C:\{...path\jre1.5...}\javaw.exe 
 

Second Step (Xulrunner):

Now you should register Xulrunner if you want use the preview in xul and svg editor. 

 To register XULRunner with the system, open a command prompt and run xulrunner.exe --register-global (to register for all users) or xulrunner.exe
--register-user
(to register for one user
only).

Third Step (XulBooster):
