Re: How to start default browser when clicking on a label

Hi,

I was wondering how I can implement a JLabel that references to a http link.
When I click that label the default browser should open and loading the webpage.
This is for a JDialog 'About' window.
I've seen this several times, but I've no idea how to implement this with
Java/Swing.

There is a free Java program out there called BrowserLauncher. It is free for commercial and non-commercial use, and may be modified nearly to your heart's content.

Find at http://browserlauncher.sourceforge.net/

Here is how I have invoked it under a button.

private void jLinkButton_actionPerformed() {
try {
BrowserLauncher.openURL(AppData.getOpenLink());
System.out.println("BrowserLauncher.openURL(" + AppData.getOpenLink() + ")");
} catch (IOException e) {
AppError.errorMessage(e);
}
}
