Lauching browser from java application

We can use new Desktop API in Java SE 6 to lauch default application to open, edit the file.
Please refer:

This help us to launch the html file in the default browser quickly instead of the getting the browser path and lauching it using the RunTime exec()'s method.

Sample Program:
import java.awt.Desktop;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Launch
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
File htmlFile = new File(args[0]);
if (Desktop.isDesktopSupported() &&
Desktop.getDesktop().isSupported(Desktop.Action.OPEN))
{
Desktop.getDesktop().open(htmlFile);
}
}
}

We were using RunTime exec()'s method to lauching browser from Java application
Following were the ways to get the broser path,

1. Build the browser path manually using getEnv("ProgramFile") + File.Seperator + "Internet Explorer" + File.Seperator + "iexplore.exe";
2. Use "reg query" windows command and query for the browser path and then use the RunTime exec()'s method.
3. cmd /c start in the RunTime exec()'s method
4. rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler

we can avoid all these if we are using java 1.6 Desktop API :)
