How to bundle Webkit into Eclipse?

Question

Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) now allows using Webkit as an underlying renderer for the SWT browser component. Nevertheless, runtime requirements say that Safari must be installed on the target machine. Is there a way to avoid this requirement by bundling Webkit/Safari into Eclipse similarly to how XULRunner is bundled?

Thanks!

@Fedor, no I haven't found a way of bundling Webkit into Eclipse. — Michael Spector, Apr 30 '12 at 16:59
If you find a solution - please post it. I too am interested in this. — ssnyder, Jul 03 '12 at 16:44

I think Genuitec did something that could help you.
from Genuite:

WebKit for SWT is an open-source embeddable Java(tm) WebKit browser component developed by Genuitec and contributed to the Eclipse Blinki Mobile DevKit project. WebKit for SWT can be used in the development of a wide range of Java SWT standalone and RCP applications that require integration of rich internet content, and services.

Yes, they did but only for Windows platform. Anyway, this project seems to be dead. – Michael Spector Jan 10 '12 at 17:04
