RE: [mylar-dev] Could not create Browser Page:

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

Robert Elves has contributed a FAQ entry for this problem, which summarizes
the relevant parts of the corresponding SWT FAQ:

http://www.eclipse.org/mylar/doc/faq.php#setup-linux-browser

Please follow up if you have any further trouble or feedback on this.

The reason that that Mylar is loading the Browser when you set the URL is
that with any web-linked task (i.e. those that have the URL set), it loads
the URL into the "Browser" tab on the task editor page.  If you are using
Trac note that there are two shortcuts for doing this when working with
web-based repositories:

* Drag any URL from the browser (either from link or location bar) onto the
task list.  The task description will be automatically populated with the
title of the page.

* Copy the URL from the browser, then create a new task.  Link will be
populated, and you can click "Get Description".
