>java -jar BrowserLauncher2-all-1_3.jar

Yields:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at edu.stanford.ejalbert.launching.BrowserLaunchingFactory.createSystemBrowserLaunching(BrowserLaunchingFactory.java:61)
        at edu.stanford.ejalbert.BrowserLauncher.initBrowserLauncher(BrowserLauncher.java:238)
        at edu.stanford.ejalbert.BrowserLauncher.<init>(BrowserLauncher.java:216)
        at edu.stanford.ejalbert.testing.BrowserLauncherTestApp.<init>(BrowserLauncherTestApp.java:86)
        at edu.stanford.ejalbert.testing.BrowserLauncherTestApp.main(BrowserLauncherTestApp.java:113)

and doesn't yield any more information or launch a window.   Are there sources available to did deeper?

Never mind:

java.awt.Desktop

came to the rescue. I guess that explains the inactivity hereabouts.
