Use Edge/WebView2 as the default browser on Windows #1466

HeikoKlare · HeikoKlare · commit 1b76c75e2f51 · 2024-12-09T12:49:36.000+01:00
- Introduce SWT flag SWT.IE to be used for Browser to create an Internet Explorer instance - Adapt mapping of existing VM argument for default browser to map "ie" to new Internet Explorer flag and use Edge as default - Make SWT Browser instantiate Edge on Windows by default, i.e., unless the flag SWT.IE is specified - Adapt the SWT ControlExample to represent the SWT.IE flag and properly switch between Edge, Internet Explorer and default - Adapt Browser tests to consider to new default configuration Contributes to #1466
