Hi,

I would like to start a external browser about a selection event from a
button. It is possible to get the default system browser to launch ? I
have a `about' dialog and want to show the aligned website from the app.

Many thanks,
Andreas

Take a look at the org.eclipse.swt.program.Program.

Example:
Program.launch("http://www.google.com/");

Hi Laurens,

it that easy, thanks. I just find the way in bugreport

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=69647

Program program= Program.findProgram("html");
if (program == null)
program= Program.findProgram("htm");
if (program != null)
program.execute(fURLString);

Regards,
Andreas
