BrowserLauncher uses netscape as default-browser
------------------------------------------------
Key: RCP-540
URL: http://jira.springframework.org/browse/RCP-540
Project: Spring Framework Rich Client Project
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Helper Classes
Environment: Linux
Reporter: Arne Limburg
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).

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.

---------------------------------
Good point, I'll deprecate the class and suggest using JDIC.

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.
