Michael Baessler commented on UIMA-518:
---------------------------------------
I did some improvements for launching the system browser.
I did not use one of the available open source libraries. I check the
availability of the most common browsers and use the first available browser in
the list. Maybe we can create the list based on a Java configuration parameter
so that users can modify if necessary. But currently I'm not sure if we really
need this.
I also added some code that may work for MacOS. Can please someone verify :-)

> Key: UIMA-518
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-518
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Java Framework
> Affects Versions: 2.1, 2.2
> Reporter: Michael Baessler
> Assignee: Michael Baessler
> Priority: Minor
>
> The annotation viewer has the possibility to use the browser to show the
> annotation results. By default on Linux the "mozilla" browser is used.
> On "old" Linux systems, "mozilla" is correct to call, but I think on newer
> Linux systems, "mozilla" never works
> ...
> http://www.linuxworld.com/news/2006/101106-portland-project.html describes
> xdg-utils, and says Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Debian have already committed to
> installing the utilities.
> One utility enables visiting a Web page in the user's chosen browser.
> On Debian, this capability is available via the command "x-www-browser",
> which launches the user's graphical browser of choice.
> OSDL's xdg-utils extends the availability across distributions.
> See http://portland.freedesktop.org/wiki/ for details on xdg-utils. It is
> licensed under the MIT license, and
> the MIT/X11 license is listed as category "A" (allowed) on Cliff's 3rd party
> page.
