Can you go to Windows > Prefs > General > Web Browser and check if you have the default internal browser selected on that window.

Do you have any plugins installed with MyEclipse ?

[Fhyo8Cm2]

Window->Web Browser->

The only option present is Default system Web Browser

as for plugins. I downloaded myeclipse-6.5-pulse-linux-gtk-x86.tgz and ran myeclipse-installer. Its a vanilla install, I intended to use examples on demand to test the install.

Are you behind a proxy?

Can you go to http://www.poweredbypulse.com and grab the pulse launcher. Use it to launch Eclipse and add the MyEclipse profile to it. Then try working with EOD’s. Does the page show up.
