Hello
I cannot view html files on a browser under eclipse 3.1.2
using WTP and VE plugin
I've set firefox as my default brower in the preferences
and I can't choose to use the internal browser ( as it is faded )

thanks for your help

Hello there.

I tried it first with Firefox and, once I'd figure out I needed to give it
an arg of:
-remote "openURL({%URL%})"
it duly succeeded in creating a new tab to show the page...after a few
seconds.

In the end though, I gave Mozilla a try, with an arg of:
-url %URL%
and this worked _much_ better, because it launched in a window within
Eclipse, meaning that I didn't have to keep switching context and could
work faster. Also, because it's then in an internal Eclipse view, you can
(as I did) drag it out of the bench and down onto the FastView icon (bottom
left) so that you can pop it up and dismiss it in a trice. Definitely
nicer, I think.

Hello again.

BTW, I think your 'internal browser' radio button is greyed out because
you're not using Mozilla; that seems to be the only fully supported
browser.
