How can I change eclipse's Internal Browser from IE to Firefox on Windows XP?
To be more specific I need to change the Internal Browser instead of adding the External Browser through Preferences -> General -> Web Browser.
In Preferences -> General -> Web Browser, there is the option "Use internal web browser". Select "Use external web browser" instead and check "Firefox".
I don't know if this will help, but here's the SWT FAQ question How do I use Mozilla as the Browser's underlying renderer?
Edit: Having researched this further, it sounds like this isn't possible in Eclipse 3.4, but may be slated for a later release.
You can find out the option for changing browser in Window menu.
See image at below.
This image can be easy to understand.
I like the Aptana Browser Preview windo for this.
You can get it from their update site: http://download.aptana.org/tools/studio/plugin/update/studio/
After you install the Aptana plugin, open an Aptana project and there should be an option under help to install aptana features. under other you will find a Firefox/XUL browser. There may be a more direct way to install the XUL plugin, but the above procedure works.
Window-->Web Browser--> Firefox

I am using Eclipse Luna and JBoss AS 7. When I create a JSP page in Eclipse, then I get the below error:
I changed my server to Tomcat 7, still I am getting the same error.
How is this caused and how can I solve it?
That visual page editor is part of JBoss Tools plugin which you installed in order to be able to integrate and use JBoss AS server in Eclipse.
You don't need it. It's not only experimental, but generally visual page editors just doesn't work when you want to end up with quality code. Just click the red cross at the right bottom corner and then click the Source tab and finally close the Palette tab. This is fortunately an one-time thing. It will stay away when you create new JSP pages.
It's just the worst part of otherwise very great JBoss Tools plugin.
If you want to use a visual editor, I would recommend the XULRunner JBoss tool.

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.
I'm running Eclipse Indigo on a Mac doing front-end web dev. I'd like to be able to use an external editor, but Eclipse refuses to notice that files have been changed unless I make it the foreground application. Is there a way around this?
Do you have the option "Refresh using native hooks or polling" enabled? Find it under Preferences > General > Workspace.
I noticed that my Eclipse does not include JSP Editor. Does standard JSP editor exist for Eclipse and if so, where can one download it from?
The JavaEE version of Eclipse has full JSP support. The standard java development version doesn't.
Alternatively, you should be able to install the WebTools plugin(s) into an existing Eclipse, that should give you JSP support also.
I had this same problem!
I resolved it by switching my eclipse perspective to JAVA EE perspective.
Go to help -> Install New Software and install webtool.
And for whomever that still not seeing the editor, set JSP editor to be the default editor for JSP files in this way
Having the same problem, I researched this and I found many solutions. After installing the Web Tool PLug-Ins, I was able to get the .jsp editor to work. Its important to know that you must close your .jsp files then reopen it, or you may be convinced that the solution didn't work. You can confirm that the Web Tool Install worked if you go to the following:
Window -> Preferences
In the list of options, you will see General. Expand that menu.
Expand the "Editors" menu
Click on the option "File Assocations"
There will be a "file type" (I'm using Keleper) with a list of different file types.
In this list, select .jsp.
In this list you should see a list of editors. Select JSP editor. Then click OK.
This is something I discovered when trying to get mine to work.
Go To Preference->General->Editors->File Associations
Check editor for *.jsp type.
If it's not present, add one.
If it's Class file viewer, then remove it.
Worked for me.
To install from within IDE for newer Eclipse clients:
Help->Eclipse Marketplace
Search for "Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools". Install.
When I hover over a function, I get the documentation, but the HTML isn't being parsed. This happens to me in both Aptana 3 and Eclipse Helios. Any ideas? I'm clueless. Ubuntu 11.04 btw
EDIT:
When I press F2 for focus, the dialog turns yellow and the content is

The require_once keyword
First, make sure you have Internal Web Browser available in your Eclipse. For this use menu Window/Show View/Other/Internal Web Browser.
If browser is not available, read SWT FAQ: What do I need to run the SWT Browser inside Eclipse on Linux?
