Property "Browser Executable" for "External Browser(Unix)" and "External Browser(Command Line" doesn't handle well speces between executable and parameters. Steps to reproduce: 1. Select Tools->Options->IDE Configuration->Server and External Tools Settings->Web Browsers 2. Select "External Browser(Command Line" and click on "..." button near "Browser Executable" property. Type "netscape " (end it within space) in "Process" text field and leave {URL} in "Arguments" area. 3. In Tools->Options->IDE Configuration->System->System Setting set property Browser to "External Browser(Command Line)". 4. Try to view any HTML or execute some servlet/jsp "Cann't create process" warning window will be opened and nothing more. Netscape isn't started The same behavior for "External browser(Unix)" Reproduced under Solaris 8 and FFJ-4.0-EA build 020301
You try to run "netscape " executable and probably don't have it. That's your fault. You can see in log what you are doing. NbProcessDescriptor behaves as intended here.
OK. But there is a behavior confilict in external browser chooser: 1) Spaces in filenames, selected via "Open" dialog are always cut 2) Spaces in filenames, directly typed in "Process" textfield, aren't cut. Because most of FSs allow to use spaces in filenames, FFJ shouldn't cut it at all. I've filed separate bug 21293.
Right. Cutting looks like problem. Better to enter a bug for 'core' - beaninfo editor for NbProcessDescritor cuts spaces. 21293 seems to be different issue.
Verified invalid.
