Hi

I use the following code to start an internal browser an load a URL:

IWorkbenchBrowserSupport browserSupport = Activator.getDefault().getWorkbench().getBrowserSupport();
IWebBrowser browser = browserSupport.createBrowser(IWorkbenchBrowserSupport.LOCATION_BAR, null,"Test", "Test");
	
URL url = new URL("www.google.com");
browser.openURL(url);

Now I would like to keep track of every other URLs that are also loaded in this internal browser. Can I somehow hook into it?

For now I created my own browser using SWT widget, following this link:

h**p://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet128.java?view=co

But the problem is, I don't know how to integrate it into my plugin so that it is displayed instead of the editor. How can I do that?

Thanks

You can add a location listener. The Browser class has this method that you can call:

public void addLocationListener (LocationListener listener)

The snippet you mentioned has this listener in it:

		browser.addLocationListener(new LocationListener() {
			public void changed(LocationEvent event) {
				if (event.top) location.setText(event.location);
			}
			public void changing(LocationEvent event) {
			}
		});
