Update FAQ related to Edge and Internet Explorer #1796
Conversation
| In case you want to use fixed-version binaries or override the automatically chosen version, set the `org.eclipse.swt.browser.EdgeDir` Java property to the directory containing `msedgewebview2.exe`. For example: | ||
|
|
||
| ```sh | ||
| java "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.EdgeDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Beta\Application\88.0.705.29" ... |

Starting Eclipse via a java command isn't that common.
Should the example just mention the 'system property' and not give a command line example?
Or, alternatively, mention to modify the eclipse.ini`

Makes sense. This is probably only relevant when having a pure SWT application. I have reduced this to a sentence mentioning the system property and referring to the eclipse.ini for Eclipse products.

Values not applicable to a particular platform are ignored. For example, the value of `edge,chromium` will change the default to Edge on Windows and Chromium on other platforms. | ||

seeing as chromium is not supported anymore, should we replace this constant with webkit?
