[Springframework-rcp-dev] [Spring-JIRA] Commented: (RCP-540) BrowserLauncher uses netscape as default-browser

Arne Limburg commented on RCP-540:
----------------------------------

On Windows it uses cmd.exe or command.exe to open the url. So it should start your real default browser! I have not tried JDIC for now, but if it works for linux indeed it sounds better than BrowserLauncher. So it's ok for me that you closed this issue.

> 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).
