Eclipse / Aptana 3 : Launching wrong browser - eclipse

I just installed the Aptana Studio 3 plugin on my installation of Eclipse Juno, and attempted to use a portable install of Firefox to debug with, so that my general browsing install wouldn't get mucked up with a billion debugging features I don't need.
I set Eclipse's Window->Preferences->General->Web Browser to use this new portable install, but... it's still trying to launch my other install of Firefox. ("Please close down to complete installation" or whatever. I know the portable one isn't running.)
I just cannot get it to launch to the right browser. Firefox Portable is set up to allow multiple instances to be open, so I can get both my permanent install and my portable install to work at the same time, but Eclipse is trying to open the wrong installation.
I've tried restarting eclipse, closing Firefox , both internal/external web browser options on the web browser page, and even rebooting the whole computer. There are no other references to Firefox in the Eclipse settings that I can find.
... Help?

Apparently that particular setting only affects browsing in the integrated browser, not running and debugging web applications.
The setting that needs to be modified for running/debugging is in the run/debug configurations. Why that doesn't by default automatically use the default browser set in the preferences page is beyond me.
In order to get Eclipse/Aptana to open the correct browser when debugging and running web applications, do this:
In the Project Manager, r-click on the project and go to Run As -> Run Configurations... and under 'Web Browser' in the left pane, either edit the default one or add a new run configuration. I just replaced the standard 'Firefox - Internal Server' entry.
In the Web Browser field, either type in the full path to the browser executable (in my case FirefoxPortable.exe), or click 'Browse' and browse to the executable.
That should do it. and now it's doing what I would expect it to.

How to set up Chrome Developer Tools in Eclipse

Looks like there is a change, I used to install Chrome Dev tools in Eclipse using
http://chromedevtools.googlecode.com/svn/update/dev
Now the url is not accessible any more.
How to install Chrome Dev Tools in Eclipse.
The update site seems to no longer exist, so you'll have to proceed slightly differently to install the Chrome Dev Tools. Bear in mind that they haven't been maintained for several years, so may not work properly in recent versions of Eclipse.
Go to the Downloads page of the project and download the chromedevtools-0.3.8-wipbackends-0.1.10-site.zip archive. In Eclipse, on the background window you show in your screenshot, click Add... and then Archive... . In the file explorer that shows up, select the archive you have just downloaded and just go through the installation steps as usual.

How can I debug a GWT project in eclipse?

I have a GWT-Maven project and I want to debug it. I have not any Idea about debug in development mode or production mode. so I am giving some step which I did.
I deploy the war file on tomcat6 liferay server.
now I set a break point on server side(its work perfect)
when I set break point on client its not workig.
so is there is any way to debug GWT client on development or production mode.
I'm not sure if I'm following you correctly, but GWT is compiled into JS. Take a look at sourceMaps, I believe that's what you're looking for.
You should use the debugger of your browser. Chrome is best for this.
Launch your GWT app.
Press F12 to open developer tools.
Select "sources" tab
In the tree on the left open "Title of your page (xxxx.html)"
Below this you will see source maps with all your packages.
Open the java file you wish to put a breakpoint in and set a breakpoint using Chrome.
Doing client side GWT debugging in Eclipse is afaik not possible. But for me the Chrome debugger is more than enough.
I think IntelliJ can do client side debugging for GWT from whitin IntelliJ itself (for the paid version of IntelliJ).

Eclipse Mars 4.5.1 cannot access internet after first update/plugin install

I recently installed Eclipse Mars 4.5.1 (for Java Developers) using the Oomph installer. It is installed in my User directory in Windows 7. I was able to start it up, create a hello world app, and it all ran fine.
So far so good....
Then, I go to the "install software" feature under Help and download the C/C++ developer plugin. It downloads and installs fine. When I restart, I am able to build and run C++ binaries.
Again, no problem, yet....
Then, I wanted to install another plugin, PHP Developer. However, when I have Eclipse search the available sites for the package, it cannot find any sites. I tried to do a software update, and it claims it cannot find any of the hosts.
When I try to check my network preferences, I get a "null pointer exception" error report when I try to look at the Network preferences. The error report details indicate this has something to do with ".ssh\known_hosts" file not being found. Therefore, I cannot see what proxies it is using, and the list of known hosts is blank.
Bottom line: after updating itself fine for the first plugin, it appears to be unable to get to any repository for further updates. This happens regardless of what I choose as the first plugin to get.

Launch Web Browser After Tomcat Startups in Eclipse

In my old Eclipse setup, I used to have a web browser launch whenever Eclipse builds my project and Tomcat finishes starting up. Now, on my new computer, I've lost that setting.
I was able to change which browser would be the default browser for Eclipse (Windows > Preference > General > Web Browser ). However, now after it says "INFO: Server startup in xxxxxxx ms", I have to manually open my browser and go to "http://localhost:8080/webapp_name".
Does anyone know how to make Eclipse automatically launch the browser after Tomcat finishes starting up? It's very useful particular for builds that takes minutes.
Do the reverse of this one:

I just turned off my auto browser open by having internet explorer in that setting, try with default for ti to open auto again.
