如何在Eclipse for Mac中将Chrome设置为默认外部浏览器？

Question

I think that question is self-explained :-)

When I browse to Application eclipse send me an error.

Answer 1

The simplest way to get Eclipse to recognize Chrome as the default system browser is :

1. Open Safari.
2. Go to menu Safari > Preferences > General.
3. Change 'Default web browser' to Safari.
4. Close the Preferences dialog.
5. Re-open the Preferences dialog.
6. Change 'Default web browser' to Chrome.
7. Close the Preferences dialog.

This solution is more general as it applies to any application which chooses the incorrect system browser. (thanks to Kelvin Lawrence at IBM)

I am using Eclipse 4.2.0 on an iMac with OSX Mountain Lion. This also works for Eclipse Kepler on Mountain Lion.

Answer 2

I posted the answer on another question like this on stackoverflow, so here it goes:

I found the solution in a blog's post that doesn't exist anymore, it involves configuring the Location to be '/usr/bin/open' and the parameter is '%URL%'.

You need to make sure that google chrome is your default browser and it will work properly. This is the only method that worked for me on OSX Lion.

Answer 3

我通过调用/usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/Google Chrome.app" <url>解决了这个问题

Answer 4

rubdottocom almost got it. The problem is, that the path contains spaces. If you write a new shell script with the following content:

'/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome' $1

Eclipse can launch a new Chrome instance with it. Sadly, this way it is not possible to open a new tab in an already running instance, as the script exits with the following error message:

[21043:2307:292361872340725:ERROR:process_singleton_mac.cc(102)]
    Unable to obtain profile lock.

Answer 5

you can also try to fix that from eclipse at the menu bar: windows->preferences->general->web browser-> select the radio, Use external web browser and choose your default browser from there. that simple.

Here's a helpful visual showing the /usr/bin/open techinque:

Ooops! I find the answer here: Is there a way to add Google Chrome as an external web browser in Flash Builder Standalone for Mac?

The exact location is: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome

It's annoying that you can't enter inside to an "Application folder" (AppName.app) through Finder :-S

Oh Wait! It's not working >_< Safari is opened

Answer 8

In Finder, right click on Google Chrome.app , select Show Package Contents and browse down to Contents/Mac OS and drag Google Chrome to the Location in Eclipse's Edit External Web Browser dialog box. Enter -url %URL% in the field Parameters . This worked for me on Eclipse Indigo on MacOS 10.7, at least when Chrome was not started before...

我在Chrome中将Chrome设置为默认浏览器的方法是：转到Window >> Web浏览器，然后选择Chrome。
