In order to make testing of web page easier from Eclipse, it would be nice to have an "Open With > External Browser > Firefox/Internet Explorer/Chrome/Safari/,,,/all" with the children of "External Browser" being populated according to the configured Web Browsers in preferences.

One can manually configure this, but it is a pain to set up.

I don't think we should add a special case for HTML. Instead, we should do this for all file types i.e. we should integrate the OS "Open with" (Windows speak) menu. We already allow to open with the default OS program via Open With > System Editor. We could just add an 'Other System Editor' sub-menu.
