Build Identifier: 20110301-1815 I have configured my editor to use an external program (my standard browser) when viewing javadoc. This works fine when selecting a .htm(l) in the package explorer. But when i hit Shift+F2 (the hotkey I have bound to "Open Attached Javadoc" and "Open External Documentation" but sadly it opens the documentation in the standard built-in Eclipse browser. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change File Association for .htm and .html to use an external program. 2. Check that Eclipse does open the document correctly by opening a .hmt(l) document in the package explorer. 3. Bind a hotkey to "Open Attached Javadoc" and "Open External Documentation" 4. Hit the hotkey, observe that the document is open by the wrong editor.
Note: I was uncertain about what category to file this bug under and found that i accidentally has chosen releng. I have now changed it to Doc, although I'm still not sure that it belongs here.
You need to change the Web Browser preferences.
Oh sorry. It just didn't seem very intuitive that you are able to specify another tool under the filetype specific settings. I did not find this information in the help documentation for filetype association. But now I see. Thank you.
