I’d like to offer a few words to say thank you to the folks who worked to make the Eclipse Internal browser work by default on Linux since Eclipse 4.4.
There was a known workaround which required User intervention, such as the one explained on our own community blog.
But it was broken for a such a loooong time. So long, that it was even the subject of a talk at one of the EclipseCon conferences called a journey of getting HTML to work inside Eclipse.
Thanks to your fix, the next release (6.5.0) of our product will have a Welcome page working by default!
