opening default browser

[R]

Hello everybody.

I'm new to Java.

I have created simple JPanel: Help->About.

I have placed there a link to my web page with message: download the
newest version.

OK it is a text message - I want to add sth like in Eclipse's
Help->About - a link to my page.

How can I open in Java a page in default system browser?

I'm newbie, I searched with google but every time I entered word
related to browser or opening browser I have - yes - Java but 'Java
Script' results...

thanks in advance for Your help
best regards R

BrowserLauncher, <http://browserlauncher.sourceforge.net/>.
Alternately, if it's an applet, getAppletContext().showDocument(url).

In Java 5 there's a new solution to that. See:

It is not in Java '5', but the JDIC*. That is a separate package
available to pre 1.5 Java's as well. The JDIC package is not
available for the Mac (any version). * <https://jdic.dev.java.net/>
