Setting default browser for NetBeans 6.5 on Mac OS X

5. Mai 2009 moldi

A few month ago I wrote an article on our corportes blog on how to set Firefox instead of sfari as the default browser on Ma OS X’s NetBeans.

In summary:
- Choose “General” from the settings panel
- Add a new Web-Browser
- Type in “/usr/bin/open” as the process
- arguments should be “-a firefox {URL}”

I had to setup another NetBeans installation today, and this was what the settings interface looked like:

netbeans-settings-1

No “Add” or “Edit” button at all!

I even thought of hacking /usr/bin/open but than it came to me to – resize the settings window.

netbeans-settings-2

Ouch!
