Description rptmaestro 2008-09-25 22:00:16 UTC

Relates to ant and maven web projects.

Once a web application is deployed and opened in the default browser, if the user closes the browser, the only way to
reopen it via the IDE is to open the "Services" tab, expand the "Servers" node, expand the J2EE server node, expand the
"Web Applications" node, right-click on the desired web application, and select "Open in Browser". Because web
developers often need to close and reopen a web browser when they desire to start a new session, there needs to be a
more convenient way to open a project's web application. I suggest adding a submenu to the web project node's popup
menu, perhaps just under the "Run" and "Debug" actions, that would allow the user to choose the web browser in which to
open the application (without redeploying).

Reassigning to maven.

Comment 2 Milos Kleint 2008-09-26 07:15:42 UTC

I'll add to maven projects once the change, ideally the action should be implemented in one place (web apis) and only
added to the project type's popup

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
