Running under Eclipse, can't detect messages from `chat1.html` if using Eclipse Navigator

Running under Eclipse, MyWebSocketServer in WebSocketReceive can't detect messages from chat1.html if using Eclipse Navigator, but it works fine if I double-click on the chat1.html via Windows Explorer.

It's probably a dumb bug, but the strange thing is that it used to work, but stopped working when I tried rebuilding the project. It doesn't crash, it just ignores my messages!

I tried doing a refresh on Navigator, but it didn't seem to help!

@marci4 - does this suggest anything to you?! Merci d'avance!

I tried just editing the chat1.html file via Navigator - and it worked! Shouldn't refresh have done this?

Hello @jpaulm

It could be that the Eclipse Navigator just does not support websockets. I don't have any eclipse here right now so I cannot check this!

Hi @marci4 , once I made a trivial edit to the chat1.html file, everything worked - even using Navigator to access it. Just doing Refresh didn't make a difference, though - could be some kind of Navigator problem.

Update: maybe I wasn't specific enough: when I selected the chat1.html file in Navigator, after downloading from GitHub, and hit 'open with Web browser', the html displayed fine, but the JavaScript didn't seem to do anything. After I did a trivial edit on the html file, the same process worked perfectly!

Also, using Windows Explorer instead of Navigator worked perfectly, right from the start!

So maybe a JavaScript/Eclipse problem!

One of life's mysteries! Thanks anyway!

I have updated the Readme to describe this behaviour - the consensus seems to be that I can't do anything about this, so I will close this issue. Thanks, everyone!

I have just published v1.2.3 of JavaFBP-WebSockets. After starting com.jpaulmorrison.fbp.examples.networks.TestWebSockets, I click on chat1, and select OpenWith - and select Web Browser.

This does not seem to work within Eclipse; however, if I select Web Browser under the Win10 File Explorer, it works fine! I have updated Readme accordingly.
