Call Interent explorer within a java application

Thread view:

Hi,

I have noticed that some programs like for example RealOne player can
call the Internet explorer within its Gui and the user is able to
browse the web from within their application. I was wondering if
someone could point me to a script that can do this. I might also have
some additional questions on how on programing this thing since it
might be my first Java application.

Thanks!!!

Using the term 'script' makes me wonder if you are
confusing Java with JavaScript, it is easy to have JS
in a web page that (unreliably) will open a _new_
browser window.

If you are indeed talking of Java, try..
http://browserlauncher.sourceforge.net/
(and if you are writing an applet, I would estimate
it has slightly _less_ chance of working and opening
a new window than the JS)

Aaaargh!

A GUI based application calling in external packages,
as a first project??

This is no project (in Java) suited to a _1st_ program.
Start with an 'Hello World' program to check you have
the right local set-up and understand the very basics,
and work from there..

[ I already knew 2-3 languages before starting Java.
But I still needed to do my Java 'hello world'.. ]
