Hello,
Although you can do that in the JEditorPane, the
editor pane will
load the page in itself. So, I think that is not what
you want. I know of a
method which works well, and even softwares like
NetBeans do the same. Just
use the Runtime.exec() function to start browser.
These are the steps to be
followed:
1) Create a button, which acts like a Hyperlink
listener.
2) The actionPerformed function of the button
ActionListener, just
starts the browser using Runtime.exec() method, which
will run the
application. For internet explorer the command is
"iexplore" to that
command, just pass the URL as an argument.
3) That's it, your own hyperlink is ready.
Limitations:
1) Your program cannot run in Linux, because Linux
does n't have IE
(so portability is at a stake)
2) iexplore may not be the default browser in every
computer. So,
the browser might not be updated because user might be
using some other
browser such as Opera.
Anyway, if the Operating System is Windows, and if
you don't want
your app to be portable, use the method I mentioned.
And now, you can also do one thing. Instead of
harcoding iexplore
command, you can place a separate properties file,
where in the broswer's
command is stored. And the user is asked about the
browser to be used, while
the application is installing. So, your application
will be portable. Cool,
now work out.
