How to open the default webbrowser using java

Question

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to open the default web browser and set the page to "www.example.com" thanks

Answer 1

java.awt.Desktop is the class you're looking for.

import java.awt.Desktop;
import java.net.URI;

// ...

if (Desktop.isDesktopSupported() && Desktop.getDesktop().isSupported(Desktop.Action.BROWSE)) {
    Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI("http://www.example.com"));
}
