In the Web Browser in the Eclipse examples, clicking on a link to a PDF file doesn't work. It seems to be doing something for about 1 second, but it doesn't display the PDF file, or offer any option to save it. This is with mozilla 1.7.3 (also with 1.7.8). No mozilla plugins are installed.
Test case: Go to http://overholt.ca/wp/?p=24 in the Eclipse Web Browser example, and click on the link to the .pdf presentation.
Does Mozilla display the .pdf file outside of Eclipse?
Outside of Eclipse, it brings up a dialog box saying: "The file "GUADEC2005-EclipseIDE.pdf" is of type application/pdf (PDF document), and Mozilla does not know how to handle this file type. The file is located at http://overholt.ca/eclipse/ "What should Mozilla do with this file? o Open it with the default application (xpdf) o Open it with [_____________________] [choose] o Save it to disk [] Always perform this action when handling files of this type [OK] [Cancel]"

sorry, it was a bit hasty to mark this as a duplicate; reopening
- it's not a general download problem, but seems specific to .pdf. Our HelperAppLauncherDialogFactory does get invoked when clicking on, for instance, an eclipse download .zip - it works fine for mozilla versions <= 1.5, then stops working as of 1.6
fixed > 0913 on gtk and motif If a plug-in is installed for viewing a type that's not handled by the browser itself (such as .pdf) then the plug-in is utilized, otherwise a Save filepicker is shown.
