Enable Chromium / Dartium within Dart plugin

Question

I installed the dart plugin and put the dartium (freshly downloaded) in the eclipse project. The folder is called chromium.

When I now start the project nothing happens. Dart plugin has a property in the preferences where I can specifiy the location of a custom browser to start. Does anyone know what I should select here or what I missed.

Answer 1

'dartium' must be in a directory called 'chromium' at the root of your eclipse installation.

For example, if your eclipse is at ~/dev/java/eclipse and you have unzipped dartium to ~/downloads/google/dartium-lucid64-full-stable-1.12.1.0 then if you symbolicaly link

ln -s ~/downloads/google/dartium-lucid64-full-stable-1.12.1.0 ~/dev/java/eclipse/chromium

then the eclipse dart plugin will find dartium.

Answer 2

On OS X, I place my Chromium.app package in a "chromium" directory that is a child of the actual eclipse install directory.

(eg /Applications/eclipse-4.3.2/chromium/Chromium.app)
