Open Website from Within Eclipse's Internal Browser

How do you open the Eclipse web browser?

Right click a file in left Project Navigator, and in the pop up context menu, chse Open with ..., and then you can find it in sub menu.

Actually, I don't like to use it.

Open website from within eclipse's internal browser?

I know the question is old but I just had the same problem and was able to find the soloution.

The internal browser of SWT is using the webkitgtk browser engine. Because you're running gentoo I suppose you currently have net-libs/webkit-gtk:3 installed which is incompatible with SWT. But this is no problem because you can install the compatible net-libs/webkit-gtk:2 in a new slot.
Just install it like this:
emerge net-libs/webkit-gtk:2

After the package is installed the internal webbrowser is working again (for me)

Is there a way to prevent Eclipse from opening the browser when starting a Web application?

No there is not. The way to do this is not click on the apllication and run as, but to click on your server and launch it(and deploy your application). Then you will get rid of browser opening.
