Using Java application to open browser tabs

Question

I am thinking to make a java application that will take as an input different URLS and open them automatically on new browser tabs.I do know how to make it work up to the point where a tab is opened .Is that process something too complicated ? What should i look to in order to learn how to do it ?Thanks for any help.

Note this is for OSX

Answer 1

You can use Runtime.getRuntime().exec() to invoke any command from the Java application. In your case it can be the browser.

Here is the javadoc

Answer 2

To handle this in a somewhat OS independent manner, you could try Desktop.browse(URI). But the requirement of all URI's in the same tab can't be done this way, AFAIK.
