I'm using SWT Browser based on XULRUNNER 10.0 in Eclipse 3.8.
I want to configure the embedded browser for enable the access to system clipboard by javascript.
In my web application running on the embedded Browser I use CKeditor 3 and I want to use the copy/cut/paste functions.
I can't use JavaXPCOM interface because for the version 10.0 of XULRunner is not supported.
How can I achieve this programmatically or even by configuration file?
You have to set certain preferences to the xulrunner engine.
At first you have to access the prefs.js file for the xulrunner. This can be done with the following snippet:
Class<?> loadClass = Activator.getDefault().getClass()
.getClassLoader()
.loadClass("org.eclipse.swt.browser.MozillaDelegate");
Method declaredMethod = loadClass
.getDeclaredMethod("getProfilePath");
declaredMethod.setAccessible(true);
String profilePath = (String) declaredMethod.invoke(null);
File userPrefs = new File(profilePath + File.separator + "prefs.js"))
In this file you have to set the following key-values:
capability.policy.policynames, allowclipboard
capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy,allAccess
capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste,allAccess
capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites,file://

Note: This is only working if your website is local. Otherwise you have to add the domains to the capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites key.
