Hello everyone,

I need to help about openning a html file under a Jbutton. I created a button on the panel and named it as tables. And I created a html file named as tables in the project folder. The program is expected to do this;

When the user clicked on the butto, the html file should be opened on the browser.
HTML file is static no need a database or any other things. You may think there is no relation with the java project. The user just should see it on the browser.
I searched too much. However, I couldn't solve this.

Java

  private void btnDevelopersActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                              

try{ 
//OPEN A HTML FILE ON MY COMPUTER

} 
catch(Exception ex){ 
System.out.println("cannot execute command. " +ex); 
} 

    }

My website is not dynamic. I just want to open an html file and I am using netbeans.

What do you mean with 'open'.
Do you mean read the file?

No. When the user clicked on the button, the html file should be seen on the browser. When I cliked on the html file it is opened on the browser. I want this.

So, I've posted a link to a similar discussion.
I think the first answer is what you need.

Solution 3

even simpler:

Java

// find program for given file
Program p = Program.findProgram("pdf"); // could also be html or whatever 
p.execute(printFilePath); // throw file at program

One simply lets the OS decide and take action. It's pretty failsafe.
