Hi,
Ive searched the preferences page but cannot find how to include the “External Preview” in the Console when debugging JSP’s, as per your tutorial – “Use internal browser to view helloWorld.jsp page” – Visual Tours – web development. Could you help pls.
cheers,
mike

[Scott Anderson]

Mike,

The External Preview is a view that is part of the Install/Update manager. You can open it with:
Window > Open View… > Other… > Install / Update > External Preview

Hi Scott,
I may be missing something simple (or maybe the .log has the answer), but when I choose Windows -> Show View -> Other… , the list of options I get are: Ant – Basic – CVS – Debug – Java – Java Browsing – PDE – PDE Runtime – and, Team.

This is very strange indeed… if you still have the Eclipse SDK zip laying around, can you unzip it to some arbitrary location and run THAT copy of Eclipse and quickly check the View menu? “Update Manager” Should be right under Team (according to Eclipse 2.1.2)

[Mike Lyndon]

Hi,
Ive installed Eclipse vers 2.1.2 ( and my two plugins) and it works fine – the Update Manager is included.

Here’s the Log for installation:

!CONFIGURATION Mar 4, 2004 2:48:50 PM
!ACTIVITY Mar 04, 2004 14:48:50.906 file:C:/eclipse2/ site-install success
!ACTIVITY Mar 04, 2004 14:48:50.906 file:C:/eclipse2/workspace/.metadata/.config/platform.cfg.metadata/v2LocalSite.xml reconciliation success

Looks like its something to do with version 3 of Eclipse and MyEclipse, which I am running.

cheers,
mike

[Scott Anderson]

Mike,

I’m really sorry, since you didn’t post which version of Eclipse you were running I assumed it was 2.1, not one of the 3.0 milestone builds. The external preview was removed from 3.0. However, we’ll be adding a new browser view in both 2.8 / 3.8 in the near future. It’ll be great for testing.

[Mike Lyndon]

😀 Thanks for your help – I’ll look forward to 3.8.
regards,
mike.

[Chris Turrentine]

Is there any chance that there’s a beta version of the 3.8 to use for the External Preview?
