Today a short one: If you want to use Google Chrome as the default web browser in Eclipse on Mac OS X, just do the following (of course after you installed Chrome). In Eclipse open the "Preferences" dialog Select "General ->Web Browser" Choose "New" Enter the information in the dialog as shown in the screenshot below. Click "OK" Check the button next to the newly created entry "Google Chrome" Click "Apply" Now Chrome will be taken when you select a URL to be opened in Eclipse.
