[oXygen-user] OSX: Cannot Launch Oxygen from Eclipse After Install

[Adrian Buza]

Hi Eliot,

I can't convince Eclipse to work this way(browse for external program) 
with any other application. Tried with Safari and Firefox, failed in the 
same way.
It looks like Eclipse has issues with the application launchers.

The workaround for this is to make sure Oxygen is associated with that 
file extension and then simply use Open With -> System Editor.

Regards,
Adrian
