This preference option is already provided by Eclipse+WTP. See Window - Web
Browser.

 Hi Ted, I could go either way here. I tend to use the Eclipse Internal web

 suggests since it would satisfy those who prefer the internal browser, and
 those who don't.

Thanks, Shiva.  I find this option in Preferences - General - Web
Browser. This seems to work well, and I think we should add it to our
documentation for GEP.  I did have a problem on the Mac, where I got a
message about A copy of Firefox is already open.  Only one copy of
Firefox can be open at a time.  This seems strange in that I'd think
Eclipse would just open a new window, not try to launch Firefox
altogether.  However, I changed my external browser setting from
Firefox to default system web browser, and the console came up, as a
new tab in an existing firefox window!

I'd go for an configuration option so people could select what they prefer.

I don't have a strong preference either way, but do feel that this 
should go into a post-2.1.2 release, since it is already out for a vote.
