Java Swing Browser Launching
Looking for an easy way to launch a browser window from your swing application? The easiest solutions I found without using a library involved JNLP; not a good answer for my cross platform Swing applications. There are quite a few solutions, but I like Browser Launcher 2. Only 92kb, it seems rather good at finding the user selected system default browser, and its ease of use is hard to deny:
BrowserLauncher().openURLinBrowser("http://example.com");

Hello! I'm very new to Java programming and am having a lot of fun writing my own programs.
I am trying to implement BrowserLauncher2 into NetBeans 5.5.1 on Mac OSX 10.4.10 and can't seem to get it to work. I have added the BrowserLauncher2 library to my current project but even then when I try the line:
BrowserLauncher().openURLinBrowser("http://example.com");
I get the error message "cannot find symbol".
Any help?

Does anyone by chance know of a handy way to launch a browser behind the scenes and then take a screen capture of the client arew once the page is loaded?
