Description everflux 2013-01-13 10:09:11 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 201301102100 ]
[ JDK VERSION : other ]

I have installed chromium and firefox on my system. Both are correctly offered
as run configurations by Netbeans. In addition "Chrome" is offered although it
is not installed.
Netbeans does (correctly?) not know at which path it should execute chrome, but
it can not be removed from the list of browsers or run configurations for HTML5
projects.

Default browser for HTML/JS projects is Chrome with NB integration and it is not recognized if it's missing. I think there is no harm in leaving it in list of run configurations (so user will know he can run it also in Chrome...). But perhaps following would be nice:
- Chrome is missing and Chromium present => change default configuration to Chromium
- both Chrome and Chromium are missing => change config to Embedded browser

These actions would be done (or offered?) on new project creation. The downside would be that if user does not have Chrome/Chromium, he might never know about option to run project in these browsers (since run configuration would be changed on project creation)...

Looking into the code, Chrome browser is (on Unix) always present. I don't see any issue with that.

Could you please submit this as a new issue (if it is still valid)?

Thanks.

When that browser is not installed, why should it be offered?

At least on Linux/Ubuntu it is common that "chrome" is not installed, but "chromium" (if any of those at all).
