Send Trace to Browser

[yosefraisman]

Decide on, and implement in class SendTrace, a function that open up a webpage with the trace we got as input (replacing the current stub, which prints out the trace to a MessageDialog).

Options:

• Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URL(url).toURI()); (leading answer in Stackoverflow, crashed in my Linux testing. Also, some eclipse alternatives are available, so they are naturally more attractive.)
• Using org.eclipse.swt.program (find an external Browser, and then use Program.launch(url). Makes the most sense, probably easiest in implementation.)
• Use an SWT Browser, as demonstrated in eclipse.org/swt/snippets.
• PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getBrowserSupport().getExternalBrowser().openURL(url) (from Interface IWorkbenchBrowserSupport. Should work, but it's mainly used for the internal browser from what I can gather.)

~Temporarily, url will be some version of "https://www.google.com/#q=" + trace + " site:stackoverflow"~ The finished version of this issue opens a window in the default web browser with a request (containing the stack trace) in the following address: http://localhost:8080/BugQueryServerSide/result.jsp?q=query.

Successfully implemented. Once we have a version of BugQuery online, we'll revisit.

We now have a version running on a Tomcat server, so I enhanced class SendTrace to support sending a GET request with the extracted trace to the server in localhost:8080.
