internal browser doesn't work [message #690889] Thu, 30 June 2011 11:38 Go to next message

Hello,

For some reason Window->Preferences->General->Web Browser does not allow me to select the "Use internal Web browser" option. The radio box is disabled. I can only use an external web browser. Is there a way to enable or to install the internal browser?

I tested it with Eclipse 3.6 and 3.7, neither worked.
My operating system is Linux-64bit

Thanks in advance
Antoras

At least with Eclipse IDE for Java EE, the browser comes for free (no
need to install). I can't say whether or not it comes in other packages,
though I suspect at least that it comes in Eclipse PDT too.

I tried it with the JEE version of Eclipse but it didn't work. Still the same problem, the radio box is disabled.

I'll plead ignorance to what you're trying to do. I typically launch by
right-clicking a .html, .jsp, .jsf, etc. file, then choosing Run/Debug As.

I tried to login to the Google App Engine. This does not work with an external browser (I don't konw why, it seems Eclipse doesn't recognize the login signal from the external browser). Thats why I want to use the internal one.

You might need some extra packages. (Internal web browser is based on Browser widget)
Q: What do I need to run the SWT Browser inside Eclipse on Linux?

I installed XULrunner, but it didn't change anything. Furthermore I added following parameter to eclipse-startup:-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner-2.0/.

Is it possible to check inside of eclipse whether the parameter is correctly set? Are there more things I have to configure?

Version 1.9.2 doesn't work, too. I have also installed WebKit 1.2.7 and set the property -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true.
