Chromium can be downloaded as a zip archive with executable file chrome.exe. If you register this browser manually in NetBeans, there is no way to use it with inspection features. Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201306122301) Updates: Updates available Java: 1.7.0_25; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.25-b01 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_25-b15
Davide, AFAIR you have told me that this is not supported - or am I wrong? Thanks.
Possible enhancement. Tomas is correct - only browsers recognized by the IDE are used in "with NB integration" mode. Which should be sufficient I think.
Btw. the browser detection looks like Chromium is expected to be available only when "Utilities.isUnix() && !Utilities.isMac()". Which might be obsolete now.
David, what do you mean by "detection"? Are you referring to whether Chromium is available in the browser list out of the box? For that you need to be able to detect the location of Chromium, right? On Mac the default location is probably /Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium; not sure if there would be a default location on Windows.
All I was saying is that when Denis wrote support for Chromium the browser was available only on Linux and no other platforms are checked. See org.netbeans.modules.extbrowser.ChromiumBrowser.isHidden
