Open URL in default Browser java.awt.Desktop was working...

I downloaded Net Beans 6.5 with JavaFX 1 and now java.awt.Desktop isn't even an option for the imports, is there an alternative method to open URLs from my application?

No, you aren't wrong.
It's, and I mean this with all due respect, idiotic.
I found some code on the net that does the same thing:
http://www.centerkey.com/java/browser/
Just one class, very simple.
But I really would like java.awt.Desktop to work, I want the system tray integration stuff.
Questions about getting Java 1.6 compatibility (the reason why the import doesn't work) go unanswered. It seems there is some hard coded -target 1.5 in some part of the javafx compiler. I can't figure out how to change it.

So can we keep a web button to access the www.ni.com ? So that web site opens only when button pressed?
P.S I,m a newbie.
Yes, you can also, e.g. include a help file or manual as html and open that in the browser.

Bug report: on LabVIEW 2011 SP1 and Windows 8 'Open URL in default browser.vi'

Dear colleagues,
Here is a bug report.
Culprit: 'Open URL in default browser.vi'.
System: Windows 8, Professional. LabVIEW 2011 SP1.
Abnormal behaviour and steps to reproduce:
Above mentioned VI doesn't work when LabVIEW was started with administrator privilegies. And it works as expected when LabVIEW running in normal (non-administrator) mode.
Looking forward to see this fixed.
Best regards,
Igor Titov.

Hi Igor,
Unfortunately LabVIEW 2011 SP1 does not support Windows 8. I tested this behavior with LabVIEW 2012 SP1 on Windows 8 and everything worked correctly.

Open URL in default browser

Hi All,
I'm very new to this (java(fx) programming) and the last days I'm trying to figure out how I can open the default browser when the user clicks the image (loaded from webpage) in the JFXPanel. This image comes from an openx (ads) server and holds a URL as destination link.
So far all my attempts to accomplish this have failed and I'm lost in this.
Currently when clicking the image, the destination webpage opens in in the same JFXpanel (ofcourse), but I would like to open this in the default browser.
this is what I currently have for initiating the scene from swing
            ap = new AdsPanel();
            ap.init();
            JPanel ad = new JPanel();
            ad.add(AdsPanel.fxContainer);the class for loading the webpage:
    //@Override
    public void init()
        fxContainer = new JFXPanel();
        fxContainer.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(JFXPANEL_WIDTH_INT, JFXPANEL_HEIGHT_INT));
        // create JavaFX scene
        Platform.runLater(new Runnable()
            @Override
            public void run()
                createScene();
private void createScene()
        Platform.runLater(new Runnable()
            @Override
            public void run()
                loadURL(FixedVars.SPONSORLINK);
                WebView view = new WebView();
                webEngine = view.getEngine();
                view.setContextMenuEnabled(false);
                Scene scene = new Scene(view);
                fxContainer.setScene(scene);
        });Hope some can help me out.
Thank you very much in advance.

Just found my solution!! OPening the default browser in a separate thread. Please feel free to comment me, on the code (I do not earn my money as a developer)
private void createScene()
        Platform.runLater(new Runnable()
            @Override
            public void run()
                loadURL(FixedVars.SPONSORLINK);
                WebView view = new WebView();
                webEngine = view.getEngine();
                view.setContextMenuEnabled(false);
                webEngine.locationProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<String>()
                    @Override
                    public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends String> observable, final String oldValue, final String newValue)
                            if ( !newValue.contains(FixedVars.SPONSORLINK) )
                                System.out.println("newval =: " + FixedVars.SPONSORLINK);
                                Platform.runLater(new Runnable()
                                    @Override
                                    public void run()
                                        loadURL(oldValue);
                                // open the destination URl in the default browser
                                // class will open a new thread
                                BrowserOpener.main(newValue);
                Scene scene = new Scene(view);
                fxContainer.setScene(scene);
    }and the class opening the default browser:
public abstract class BrowserOpener implements Runnable {
     * url string
    private static String uriString;
    public void open(String url) throws Exception{
        URI u = new URI(url);
        java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse(u);
    public void run() {
        try
            open(uriString);
        catch ( Exception ex )
            Logger.getLogger(BrowserOpener.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    public static void main(String args) {
        (new Thread(new BrowserOpener() {})).start();
        uriString = args;
}

Open URL in default browser -- doesn't

Hi Dan,
Thanks for posting the screenshot...I see what the problem is. You are trying to wire a path to the Open URL VI as a string. When this VI receives a string input, it assumes the string contains a URL...if the VI receives a path input, it assumes the string contains an absolute path to an HTML file on disk...it looks like this is the functionality you need. Here is a screenshot of how I think your VI should work:
See how the VI is accepting a path input now instead of a string input? With the path input, it does not try to escape space characters like it would with a URL string.
Hope this helps,
-D

Open URL in Default Browser help

I use the Open URL vi to send a command to another computer. e.g. http://xxx.xx.xx.xxx:xxxx/exec?RCO.
The vi also opens a web page with some return information from the other computer. Can I suppress the openning of that web page?
Thanks

I'm not sure why you are using this vi anyway but there is not a way to suppress the opening since the VI is password protected. Why not use TCP or ActiveX with internet explorer.
Joe.

Opening existing apps using java.awt.Desktop

My java version is 1.6 so the java.awt.Desktop is good for my reason?

            Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("test.html"));
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();

With Firefox as my default browser for a desktop iMac, a note appears "An attempt to change your home page and default search has been blocked" It won't go away

With Firefox as my default browser for a desktop iMac, a note appears "An attempt to change your home page and default search has been blocked" It won't go away. It tells me to click on the checkmark to change settings but that doesn't work and the red x in the upper right hand corner doesn't remove the note which is in the upper left corner of my iMac ??? The only thing that removes the note is quitting Firefox but it reappear as soon as I start Firefox back up ???

If that does not work,
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

Latest build (6.0.12094) works fine with Lion. V4&5 do not work. If you upgrade to V6 now you get a free upgrade to V7 (according to the Parallels site). V7 is coming soon or now if you are a registered V6 user.

I need to know how to change default browser for my desktop icloud apps to open with.

I like to use the desktop icloud apps, but when i use them, they open with IE when my default browser I like to use is Chrome. Is there a way to make it open with Chrome when I open Calendar or iCloud from my desktop instead of IE?
thankyou for your help in advance!

Ed...maybe a little less time gaming and a bit more time in English class? They got this thing called punctuation and sentences now. Last things first; there is no amount of money that can change your GPU so you can scratch that expense off the list. So you need a battery and a fan? Where do you live? USA? We can help you find a battery but where did you plan to have the new fan put in?

Firefox will not set as my default browser? My desktop icon only allows me to open Firefox as an administrator? My family's Firefox accounts work fine. I have 3 other accounts have parental controls. Would that have an effect? in English

* Firefox will not set as my default browser, regardless of setting the option?
* My desktop icon only allows me to open Firefox as an administrator, while my family's Firefox icons are accessible?
* The 3 other accounts have parental controls and was wondering if that would have an effect?

OK, I think I have this solved. After reading my post over, I decided to rethink the problem. First thing I did was download Chrome and I tried using that and IE again and surprise! I was having the same problem on those browsers as well. So now we know it wasn't Firefox. I then figured maybe a slow computer meant a virus, so I ran scans. I've had both Avast and IOBit for months now and I've never had a problem with either of them before. Then I downloaded Malwarebytes and ran a third scan. They all picked some stuff up, but nothing serious. Then I tried disabling all the antivirus stuff and that didn't solve anything. But then I decided to keep Malwarebytes and I uninstalled IOBit Security and whammo - problem solved.
I have no idea why out of the blue IOBit would be causing a problem like this so if someone knows, please let me in on the secret. Additionally, IE was working fairly well last night but not this morning. I also don't know why removing IOBit would take care of the nsAppShell issue, because supposedly, that's related to Firefox plug ins. And one more thing...when Comcast hooked my neighbor up to cable, they did it by putting a splitter on my line. They were messing about with the lines yesterday before I got on my computer last night trying to decide how to rerun them and today they did that, taking the splitter off my line and giving my neighbor his own line. That was finished about 30 minutes before I uninstalled IOBit. So....who knows?
But I ain't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. I have my Firefox back and I am so sorry for bad mouthing you last night - I love you, Firefox!

Open URL in current browser window

I'm developing an application that works side-by-side with the user's default web browser. The browser communicates with the app through a proxy, and that works great. The issue I'm having is going the other way. So far, I've only been successful opening a new browser window each time. However, it would be much better to be able to open a page in the current window/tab. I mainly want this to work with Firefox (or anything other than IE). Has anyone ever done this, and is this even possible with Java?
Thanks in advance.

Desktop.getDesktop().browse() is what I'm using currently. I don't think you understood my problem. Currently it is opening in a new browser window. In Firefox, it's opening in a new tab, since I have it set to open in a new tab instead of new window. But, what I want it to do is open in the CURRENT tab. In other words, navigate from the current page to a new page, just as if the user had typed in an address into the address bar and pressed enter, or just as if he had clicked a standard link on the webpage.

Opening url in a browser

i have a url .... i have also cookie for that url . i need to GET (method) that . how do i open that url in a browser ?
i saw archieves . as the url is Cookie sensitive so i must use HttpUrlConnection class .
so that i could use the class methods .
but tell me how do i open the url in the browser ?

this works if there is[b] NO COOKIE.
import java.net.*;
public class Hello
    public static void main(String[] args)

Open URL in a browser with POST request from FlashPlayer?

I have a SWF file that plays locally in Standalone Flash Player 11.2 under Win 8.1.
I'm using the standard navigateToUrl() function to open a URL in a browser, so it's not published for AIR, I make sure that request data is not empty - it contains my URLvars, the function is user initiated on click, and the request method is POST.
Still the browser sends a GET request.
Am I missing something? Is it possible to fix, so it sends POST?
Thanks!

Can not post my code properly because it then requires moderation, so plain text:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(....);
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
vars.xxxx = hub.extras[3];
vars.yyyy = hub.extras[4];
req.data = vars;
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
navigateToURL(req, "_blank");

Hyperlinks in Entourage no longer open in my default browser Firefox in English

For a month or so now i have been unable to open any hyperlinks in entourage... they no longer click through to my Firefox default browser...
Any thoughts?

Maybe the default setting got changed by mistake? Try setting something else as the default browser, then setting it back to Firefox.
