Method Detail

start

public static boolean start(java.net.URL url)

This method attempts to start the given url with the associated default application (most likely a web-browser) by calling start urlPath. If this doesn't work, nothing happens; errors are ignored. The method uses the parameter application.startCommand from the Properties obtained from Settings.getProperties() to start the url. Note that a successful call to this method is platform dependent; you may have to adjust the application.startCommand parameter to make this work for your platform. The default value for this parameter shipped with the antelmann.jar file works for Windows NT/2000.

Returns:

true if no exceptions were thrown, false otherwise
