Class BrowserLauncher

java.lang.Object
  ij.plugin.BrowserLauncher

All Implemented Interfaces:

PlugIn

public class BrowserLauncher
extends java.lang.Object
implements PlugIn

This plugin implements the File/Import/URL command and the commands in the Help menu that open web pages. It is based on Eric Albert's cross-platform (Windows, Mac OS X and Unix) BrowserLauncher class.

BrowserLauncher is a class that provides one static method, openURL, which opens the default web browser for the current user of the system to the given URL. It may support other protocols depending on the system -- mailto, ftp, etc. -- but that has not been rigorously tested and is not guaranteed to work.

Yes, this is platform-specific code, and yes, it may rely on classes on certain platforms that are not part of the standard JDK. What we're trying to do, though, is to take something that's frequently desirable but inherently platform-specific -- opening a default browser -- and allow programmers (you, for example) to do so without worrying about dropping into native code or doing anything else similarly evil.

Anyway, this code is completely in Java and will run on all JDK 1.1-compliant systems without modification or a need for additional libraries. All classes that are required on certain platforms to allow this to run are dynamically loaded at runtime via reflection and, if not found, will not cause this to do anything other than returning an error when opening the browser.
