Re: GWT Developer Plugin on Safari 5.1 (OS X Lion 10.7) doesn't load

Thanks Jurriaan... a real lifesaver.

If you don't want to go back to such an old version, 5.0.5 also works, and you can get it from http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Safari5/041-0564.20110413.Fi9pb/Safari5.0.5SnowLeopard.dmg

For everyone's benefit, here're the detailed steps I used:

1. download 5.0.5, extract the .pkg from the dmg.

2. get pacifist using Jurriaan's supplied link, use it to open the safari pkg.

3. extract safari.app and put it somewhere other than your Applications folder (otherwise it'll overwrite 5.1).  It'll be called 'Safari'; I renamed it to 'Safari 5.0.5'.  (all the other stuff in the pkg didn't seem to be necessary)

4. run you gwt webapp, then on the url, right-click, open with>Add a browser, pick the 5.0.5 app, and bob's your uncle!  (or just open browser, and paste url)

tested on lion and showcase, seems to work fine.

btw, there's 5.0.6 in the apple support download pages, but that's a leopard only thing.

A workaround:

We fixed it with downloading http://support.apple.com/downloads/Safari_4_0_3
and extracting Safari.app from the dmg its Applications folder with a
trial of http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/6812/pacifist

It works both on Snow Leopard as on Lion. You can rename the old
Safari so you can have both together on one system. The App uses the
new Webkit on the system so it is only the old Safari user interface
shell which uses the old Webkit API.
