To change the web browser used for JSP pages:
- Choose Tools | Global Options from the main menu.
- Select the
JSP & Servlets
node and change the value of theWeb browser
property toExternal
.- Select the
External browser
property and press the ... button that appears to open its custom property editor.- In the Process field of the custom property editor, enter the path to the executable for the browser of your choice, either manually or by pressing the adjoining ... button to use the file chooser.
- Once the path is entered, close the property editor by pressing OK.
You can also access the Executor property editor in the Project Settings window by selecting the
Execution Types | JSP Execution | JSP Execution
node. All of the properties are shown in the right pane of the window.Note: You can only compile and execute JSP pages located on a local filesystem. You can not compile and execute pages packed in JAR or WAR files.
