Description dbrad 2015-08-13 20:11:54 UTC 
NetBeans and Microsoft-edge unable to launch edge in the same manner as other browsers on windows OS.

When will there be an integrated solution.

A workaround I've found for run but not debug (as there appears to be no internet search on this topic at the moment NetBeans and Microsoft-edge)

On NetBeans
-----------
Tools->options tab:general : web browser > edit button

Add Name: edge
Process: C:\development\msEdge.bat
Arguments: {URL}


On Windows 10 PC
----------------
Create the file :: C:\development\msEdge.bat

input: start microsoft-edge:%1


NetBeans project
----------------
Set the browser to use.

limitations
-----------
Works for run but not for debug-run.

Microsoft Edge should be registered automatically (on Windows 10) in the latest development builds of NetBeans.
Comment 2 dbrad 2016-02-19 19:06:00 UTC 
With NB 8.1 MS edge appears in the browser selections and basically works (MS Edge has problems but not NB related). So I've closed.
