opening a browser?

[wduty]

Is there way to open a browser from a java program running in a dos prompt? [sig]<p>--Will Duty<br><a href=mailto:wduty@radicalfringe.com>wduty@radicalfringe.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]

Try Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command), where command is the path and file name to the program you want to execute.
Good luck!! [sig][/sig]

If you are running on windows you can do the following

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.your-site.com");[/URL]

This will work for different browsers as well as different versions of windows. [sig][/sig]
