How to open new browser window to an external URL? [message #94165]

Hello!
My RAP action is able to open the current browser to a new URL. However I
would like to open this URL in a new browser window (or in a new tab).

This code successfully redirects the current browser to a new URL

Browser browser = new Browser(window.getShell(), SWT.NONE);
browser.setUrl(externalUrl);

I saw this post which made me think a solution was forthcoming.

Thanks for any help!
David

Hi David,

maybe the class ExternalBrowser can help you?

Regards,
Stefan.

Stefan,
Yes! Thanks, this opens a new browser to an externalUrl:

ExternalBrowser.open("my_window_id", externalUrl,
ExternalBrowser.LOCATION_BAR | ExternalBrowser.NAVIGATION_BAR |
ExternalBrowser.STATUS);

Question: is this documented anywhere? Is somebody hosting the RAP
javadoc?
Thanks,
David

David,

there is an "info center" hosted here:
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. rap.help/help/html/intro.html

This will be updated soon for the Ganymede (RAP 1.1) release and can
then be found under ...help34...

The most recent version can be accessed from the projects' home page
http://eclipse.org/rap
Click on the "Infocenter (ext)" link on the left hand side.

In addition, the tooling builds always contain the most recent
documentation.

Cheers,
Rüdiger
