– Message Body ——————————-

One of the reasons that I purchased MyEclipse was for previewing HTML and JSP pages. I cannot preview the pages at all. No tab exists next to the Source tab in the editor, not does the page appear in the Image Preview window.

I installed Eclipse and MyEclipse as root and am running Eclipse as a non-root user. I get messages that MyEclipse cannot open the internal browser. Also, when I click on the Web Browser tab, I get an SWT error that tells me that it recommends shutting down the IDE.

1) Make sure you are opening your HTML/JSP pages with our editor (right click, Open With, MyEclipse JSP(HTML) Editor)
2) SWT Browser control on Linux requires a certain version of Mozilla, I believe 1.4->1.6, 1.7 won’t work. Also it needs to be compiled with GTK2 support in.
3) Make sure you have your subscription information entered in when trying to use MyEclipse as a different user from yuor Eclipse install.

** NOTE, you may try first to install Eclipse and MyEclipse as the asme person and get everything working THEN try and move the two apart as different users.

We have added a new seciton to the FAQ on the htmleditor quickstart that demostrates how to install the correct version of mozilla that will enable the SWT browser on Linux Systems.
