43/**
44 * The {@code Desktop} class allows a Java application to launch
45 * associated applications registered on the native desktop to handle
46 * a {@link java.net.URI} or a file.
47 *
48 * <p> Supported operations include:
49 * <ul>
50 * <li>launching the user-default browser to show a specified
51 * URI;</li>
52 * <li>launching the user-default mail client with an optional
53 * {@code mailto} URI;</li>
54 * <li>launching a registered application to open, edit or print a
55 * specified file.</li>
56 * </ul>
57 *
58 * <p> This class provides methods corresponding to these
59 * operations. The methods look for the associated application
60 * registered on the current platform, and launch it to handle a URI
61 * or file. If there is no associated application or the associated
62 * application fails to be launched, an exception is thrown.
63 *
64 * <p> An application is registered to a URI or file type; for
65 * example, the {@code "sxi"} file extension is typically registered
66 * to StarOffice. The mechanism of registering, accessing, and
67 * launching the associated application is platform-dependent.
68 *
69 * <p> Each operation is an action type represented by the {@link
70 * Desktop.Action} class.
71 *
72 * <p> Note: when some action is invoked and the associated
73 * application is executed, it will be executed on the same system as
74 * the one on which the Java application was launched.
