Choosing web browsers on mac OS x [message #40685] Tue, 24 August 2004 23:55 Go to next message

I've installed eclipse 3.0 with the IBM WTP plugins on Mac OS x 10.3.5.
When trying to point to Fire fox as an additional web browser I get
"location is not a valid path name. Same error with all the browsers on
the mac, including IE. I assume this is because of the way applications
are packaged on the mac.

ps. I also tried to add a Tomcat 5.0.27 server and got an error finding
Bootstrap.class when trying to start the server. However, after closing
and re-opening eclipse, the server appears to work fine (so far). Don't
know that I did anything.

Well, I thought about it and figured it out. Depending on where you
have placed firefox a path like
'....../Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox' works

Hey David,

I haven't done any testing on Mac, so please feel free to take a look at the
plugin source. For instance, even defining the default location of some of
the browsers on Mac in defaultBrowsers.html would help to improve the
usability, and specifying the executable name will allow it to find these
browsers during a search. If you do this, just open a bugzilla to track the
additions that you think should be made.
