That's what I meant. And, of course, it's always easy to just launch a browser: > http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Desktop.html#browse%28java.net.URI%29 > That's platform-neutral? The main way I'm familiar with for launching an external process with ProcessBuilder sure isn't. This will launch the user's default browser to a specified site in Windows: (.start (ProcessBuilder. ["cmd" "/c" "\"start http://www.example.com\"";])) and I haven't the foggiest how to do something analogous with any of the popular Unix WMs, though spawning a console Lynx process with ProcessBuilder will usually work if the site only needs to display text, and the resulting Process's input and output streams can be manipulated from inside Clojure, so you can even provide your own in-app terminal emulation wrapping the Lynx instance. Needless to say, though, Lynx isn't an option if you want to display Google Maps. :) *checking* Well, (.browse (java.awt.Desktop/getDesktop) (java.net.URI. "http://www.example.com";)) works on Windoze, which is all I can test on ATM. Looks like this class can also be used to open documents with native file associations. I just got it to pop up a jpg in the Windows picture previewer. I wonder why they tucked this thing away in awt when it has nothing to do with implementing your own program GUI, instead of it being in java.lang right next to ProcessBuilder. And didn't mention it in the Java Tutorial back in the day when I was still new to the JVM and its class library. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
