The simplest way to get Eclipse to recognize Chrome as the default system browser is :

1. Open Safari.
2. Go to menu Safari > Preferences > General.
3. Change ‘Default web browser' to Safari.
4. Close the Preferences dialog.
5. Re-open the Preferences dialog.
6. Change ‘Default web browser' to Chrome.
7. Close the Preferences dialog.

Ooops! I find the answer here: Is there a way to add Google Chrome as an external web browser in Flash Builder Standalone for Mac?

The exact location is:
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome

Oh Wait! It's not working >_< Safari is opened

you can also try to fix that from eclipse at the menu bar: windows->preferences->general->web browser-> select the radio, Use external web browser and choose your default browser from there. Dragonvale download mac. that simple.
