I tried to use externalbrowser on Win98 to view my own .html file. I have found out that for localfilesystem it uses URL file:/ protocol, but for the same file on javacvs filesystem it uses connection to internal HTTP server. Of course, it should also use the file:/ protocol. Looks like a bug in URLMapper or wrong implementation of fileObject.getAttribute ("java.io.File") on javacvs fs.
Marked P2, because it prevents my girlfriend from using Nb for her work. Which is pretty serious problem ;-)
Changed milestone to 4.0, because this is definitely not critical problem. Also I thought that URLMapper should resolve primarily URLs for filesystems implemented in package org.openide.filesystems. But there is possible to get URL for all FileObjects, that can be convertible to java.io.File, so fixed. Fixed in trunk (URLMapper 1.7). I think that fix is relatively harmless and I don`t want basically resist fixing it also into release34: so Jarda - if you think that should be fixed also in release34 and want to be my reviewer, then will be fixed.
