I want to invoke a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer/Firefox/Google Chrome/Opera) via a Java interface. Also I need to pass some web links to this Java process. How to achieve this?

A:
You can use the desktop API:
java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI("http://stackoverflow.com"));
This would launch a browser

A:
You can do that with Desktop#browse(). It would however only launch the system default configured browser.

You can run the browser executable as a separate process.
