Changing External Browser in Eclipse [Linux, GWT, Tomcat6]


Upon attempting to deploy my GWT application, Eclipse constantly deploys to Aurora (bleeding-edge Firefox build - located in /usr/bin/firefox). Are there programmatic steps to follow, or do I need to modify external configuration files to change the web browser?

Steps taken:

Window -> General -> Web Browser:

[New External Browser]

  1. Name: Google Chrome
  2. Location: /usr/bin/google-chrome
  3. Parameters:

Window -> Web Browser -> Google Chrome[x]

Any suggestions? Is there some kind of persistent variable, or configuration file that I've looked over?

Thanks.


Solution

  • You can right-click the deployment line to get other browser options:

    That said, I've taken to just opening the browser I want first and typing the address in by hand - the browsers know me well enough to auto-complete the whole thing at this point.
