Geoffrey De Smet commented on RCP-540:
--------------------------------------

Shouldn't this class be deprecated in favor the JDIC implementation (or java 6 version of that)?

It sounds like it doesn't start the real default browser.
I am on Windows, but I would be insulted if it started up Internet Exploder :) My default is Firefox, but it could be Opera tomorrow.

> The BrowserLauncher class uses netscape as default browser if no other command to launch an url can be found on the current system (which is the case on all Linux-systems). You should change this default to firefox as it is the most popular browser on these systems. It is the most popular browser at all after iexplorer (which will be handled correct for windows and mac in any case by BrowserLauncher).
