  • What exactly do you mean by "java interface"? And just to be sure: you're not talking about JavaScript, right? Commented Nov 14, 2009 at 14:49

You can use the desktop API:

java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI("http://stackoverflow.com"));

This would launch a browser

You can do that with Desktop#browse(). It would however only launch the system default configured browser.

You can run the browser executable as a separate process.
