Looks blindingly similar to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335165

xulrunner-dev is bumped to 2.0 from 1.9, although xulrunner-1.9.2-dev still exists in Natty.

Builds fine with build-dep set explicitly to xulrunner-1.9.2-dev, from what I read on the gentoo bug it looks like support for java in xulrunner-2 non-existent.

My attempt at the debdiff attached.

Changed in swt-gtk (Ubuntu):

Tom: thanks! I fixed a typo in the changelog and line-wrapped it, but otherwise will sponsor this.

This needs to work with xulrunner-2.0, as we will drop 1.9.2 for natty release. I'd appreciate it if people grab me on IRC, and I will help get it working, rather than working around issues temporarily. If anyone is interested, I have a long list of applications which need porting ;)

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)
