Hello,

I have a plug-in that enables users to create an HTML page. Once finished,
I would like to launch the user's default browser to view the HTML. How do
I go about doing that ? Is there some kind of ShellExecute(...) that I
haven't found ?

You can use an internal API for now. I understand they are working on
a public API, but I don't have the bug number.

This should work on 2.1.1:

org.eclipse.help.internal.browser.BrowserManager.getInstance ().createBrowser().displayURL( "http://eclipse.org");
