Supported operations include: *
This class provides methods corresponding to these * operations. The methods look for the associated application * registered on the current platform, and launch it to handle a URI * or file. If there is no associated application or the associated * application fails to be launched, an exception is thrown. * *
An application is registered to a URI or file type; for * example, the {@code "sxi"} file extension is typically registered * to StarOffice. The mechanism of registering, accessing, and * launching the associated application is platform-dependent. * *
Each operation is an action type represented by the {@link * Desktop.Action} class. * *
Note: when some action is invoked and the associated
* application is executed, it will be executed on the same system as
* the one on which the Java application was launched.
