Opening a file outside my application

[KnightCoder]

Hi People,

All i want my java program to do is open this file (index.html, it's local to the class) external to my program. i do NOT want my application to load the file within it self.

i just want to re-create the double click command.... In essence the program will terminate leaving the user with an opened file.... if the file is a HTML document i think the system should automatically open a browser window for that document.

am i right? i want the system to handle the any of those issue not my java application.

so, is there such a command in JAVA that can open or execute a document with a given file name? and consequently the sytem handle all the stress of opening the document as my J App will close....

any Help is welcome.

Thanks
Knightcoder.

I think you can try this:-

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c index.html"
