Hi Andrei,
I can use Desktop.getDesktop().browse() on my Mac system: 10.6.7 and Java
version 1.6.0_24. Works like a charm.
What version of OSX / Java is it not working on for you?

1) re: "Desktop.getDesktop().browse()"
does not work on linux, mac:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException:
Desktop API is not supported on the current platform
at java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop(Desktop.java:126)
at bench.browse.TestBrowse.main(TestBrowse.java:13)
use instead:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sourceforge</groupId>
<artifactId>browserlauncher</artifactId>
<version>1.3.0</version>
</dependency>
2) eclipse uses embedded external system browser in a swt frame; I
wonder if you know this exists for awt?
3) are your apps in public domain? can I take a look please? :-)
thanks,
Andrei
