FYI.. The related enhancement request is 12570. I don't understand why it is so important to pass CLASSPATH to web browser. The classes related to applet are deliver by internal HTTP server from IDE Yes, the internal HTTP server sounds like what I want. It is only mentioned a couple of times in the netbeans help and unfortunately is not mentioned in the areas relating to applets. The help needs to be improved by: 1. In the help topic "Configuring the Applet Executor", it should give an example of setting up a third party browser to execute the applet. In the example it should describe the {url} argument that can be specified in the "Arguments:" field in the "Property Editor: External viewer (NbProcessDescriptor)". For example, mentioning that the host name and port portion of the url are built from the internal HTTP server settings. I feel it is important that the {url} parameter is described, as it is not obvious that this is going to be a url to the internal http server, one could have assumed that it was a file url. 2. Providing a links in the help from the "Configuring the Applet Executor" topic to the "Configuring HTTP Server Options" topic. Target milestone -> 3.3.1. The help page that describes the applet executor now includes a description of the {url} parameter and includes a link to Configuring HTTP Server Options. The change was committed to the orion_fcs release branch. Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD. Related to extbrowser. I am reassigning to Martin Actually this might be easier to implement in 4.x using nbbrowse task. Of course UI for adjusting preference how to execute it needs to be defined. |
