The Saros HTML view in Eclipse is not always displayed on Windows 10 machines, meaning: the problem described below has only been observerd on Windows 10 machines so far, but not consistently.

Symptoms:

  • The Saros HTML view in Eclipse only shows as a white area.
  • A right-click in that area reveals the correct URL (e.g. file:///F:/Development/saros/de.fu_berlin.inf.dpp.ui.frontend/html/dist/main-page.html) and correct loaded content (same as de.fu_berlin.inf.dpp.ui.frontend/html/main-page.html). It looks like the Javascript which should replace the div#Saros node is not executed, which is supported by the failure to execute even the simplest JavaScript (see first comment below).
  • Opening the dist/main-page.html file in Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge results in a properly rendered UI.
  • Opening it in Microsoft Internet Explorer requires to allow the execution of "active contents" on the local machine.
  • The behavior in Eclipse is the same with our without MS IE installed.

    Instead of the "empty" main-page.html which loads the bundle.js, I tried the following self-contained HTML+JavaScript file:

    <!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>JavaScript Test</title>  
</head>

<body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function sayHello() {
        document.getElementById("foo").style.color = "#ff0000";
    }
    </script>
    <div>
        <a href="javascript:sayHello();">Say Hello to</a>
        <span id="foo">the World</span>
    </div>

    <noscript>JavaScript is not active</noscript>
</body>

</html>

    In all three installed browsers (MS IE 11, MS Edge 25, Firefox 43) this site works as expected ("the World" becomes red) and -- unless I deactivate JavaScript -- the noscript content is not shown.
    In the HTML view, however, the noscript is also not rendered but the JavaScript call is not executed.

    If you use

    <a onclick="sayHello(); return false;" href="#">Say Hello to</a>

    instead, it works inside Eclipse 3.7.2.

    PRIO 9 - As the issue would result in an unusable application.
