Launching the system default web browser [message #33317]

Hi
I need to launch a webbrowser with a specific url when choosing a specific
menu entry in eclipse.
Therefor the system's default webbrowser should be used.

How is it possible to launch the system webbrowser with a specific url?

Since it is launched if i select a html or xml file within any perspective
(because it is the default system editor) there should be a way to do it.
I didn't find anything about this problem within the documentation or on
the web.

Thanks for your help

Chris,

If you mean programmatically launching a url see the following article
from a couple of days ago:
