Infoviewer external browser not working?

Submitted by wpong3@gmail.com on Friday, 22 January, 2010 - 20:35

Apologies if this is a faq, or a bug -- I don't think it is, so I'll post here (I did a search and hope I didn't miss) --

I've tried to configure Infoviewer plugin to use mozilla, but I can't seem to get it to work -- either with mozilla, or with IE. Here are the settings I'm using when trying to get mozilla to work...

Plugins > Plugin Options > Info Viewer > Choose Browser
"Use internal InfoViewer instead of HelpViewer" (I've tried with this checked *and* unchecked, no apparent difference)
"Choose Preferred Browser" > External Browser
"Configure Browser" > "External Browser Command" > C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe (I've tried putting the path in quotes, w/o quotes, with quotes and double-slashes, no apparent difference)

I've looked at the activity log, but don't even find the word "mozilla" in the file, which suggests I'm doing something really silly, as jedit is (apparently) not even *trying* to parse my command line. What am I doing wrong?

FWIW, I'm runing wxp pro sp3. I've recently updated my j-edit install (was using 4.3 pre16, now using 4.3). I've installed the latest plugin.

Thanks all,
--wpong

You didn't mention, when You

You didn't mention, when You expected to see Firefox opening. I think the external browser is only used by two actions:

- Plugins -> InfoViewer -> Open current buffer with browser
- Plugins -> InfoViewer -> Open selected URL with browser

same problem here ..

Same problem with me ..

I have set Infoviewer browser path

c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

and in Project Viewer I add a new Project

http://localhost:8090/

then right click on file in project .. "Preview in Browser"

In Activity Log I get an exception report ..

[AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: at projectviewer.action.LaunchBrowserAction.actionPerformed(LaunchBrowserAction.java:84)

I have to admit that I did at one point have it working and could launch phpinfo.php in Apache server. Not sure why it has stopped.

....

Later posting ..

I got my "preview in browser" to work by using the plugin updates feature to update Project Viewer plugin

Then I created a project and import files into project

right click on project to "properties" and setup properties .. e.g. ..

Root directory: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps

web root URL: http://localhost:8090

Now when I right click on a selected file in a project I can go to

Preview in Browser to launch in localhost mode.

I guess previously something might have been corrupted so in my case an update of plugin worked for me. But this might be a red herring!
