[Bug 687991] Re: [FTBFS] package 'swt-gtk' (3.5.1+versionbump-5ubuntu1) failed to build on natty

[Chris Coulson]

Sorry, I was on my phone earlier, and didn't type everything I wanted
to.

The claim that support for java is gone in xulrunner-2.0 shouldn't
affect this at all. What has been removed in 2.0 is JavaXPCOM, which
didn't have a maintainer and hasn't worked for ages. In addition to
this, we always built xulrunner with --disable-javaxpcom, so this
feature was never enabled on our builds anyway.

So, whilst I expect swt-gtk to need some source changes to make it work,
it shouldn't be impossible.

Incidentally, I have a wiki page tracking this work at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/Natty/Firefox4/XULRunner20Transition.
Feel free to take any of these if you're interested (I'd imagine that
the 1.9.2->2.0 transition will cause quite a few FTBFS on a rebuild)
