Summary:	Open in Browser action under GlassFish node uses incorrect browser

Description Petr Jiricka 2013-06-19 09:46:06 UTC

1. Create a Java web project with GlassFish target
2. Using the browser switcher in the toolbar, choose some browser (e.g. Chrome)
3. Under Tools | Options | General, choose another browser (e.g. Firefox)
4. Run the project - project is deployed and opened in Chrome as expected
5. Under Services tab | Servers | GlassFish | Applications, right-click the application that was just deployed and select Open in Browser

=> Application URL is opened in the browser from IDE options (Firefox). It should be opened in the browser used by this project (Chrome).

I'm thinking about how to implement this. GF support would have to use FileOwnerQuery to map deployed app back to NB project and then call project.getLookup().lookup(ProjectBrowserProvider.class).getActiveBrowser().createNewBrowserPane().showURL(someURL). That may work. ProjectBrowserProvider is defined in web.browser.api module.

Is this an issue? Under applications node there are any applications deployed on server not just deployed from the IDE. With the suggested behavior some nodes will be opened in the browser from IDE options some other nodes will be opened in some other browser. From the user perspective this may seems to be pretty random unless he realizes it is related to browser switcher. There would be other issues such as ear with web and possibly multiple projects opened having the same context root.

From my point of view this would be complicated heuristic (the devil is in "map deployed app back to NB project") with dubious outcome.

Report from old NetBeans version. Due to code changes since it was reported likely not reproducible now. Feel free to reopen if happens in 8.0.2 or 8.1.
