Open a webpage using Java

Question

Hi,
I am trying to open a webpage in a browser using Java code. I have been reading the tutorials and came across some code that reads the webpage as a simple text using getPageContent etc. I don't need to read the page, I just need to open it.
Can anyone please guide me, tell me which docs I should refer to etc.
Thanks,
M

import java.awt.Desktop; //Java 1.6
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
public class BrowseExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, URISyntaxException {
        URI uri = new URI("http://java.sun.com");
        Desktop.getDesktop().browse(uri);
}
