I know that this is an old question but sometimes the Desktop getDesktop   produces an unexpected crash like in Ubuntu 18 04  Therefore  I have to re-write my code like this    public static void openURL String domain        String url    https       domain      Runtime rt   Runtime getRuntime        try           if  MUtils isWindows                  rt exec  rundll32 url dll FileProtocolHandler     url  waitFor                Debug log  Browser      url             else if  MUtils isMac                  String   cmd     open   url               rt exec cmd  waitFor                Debug log  Browser      url             else if  MUtils isUnix                  String   cmd     xdg-open   url               rt exec cmd  waitFor                Debug log  Browser      url             else               try                   throw new IllegalStateException                  catch  IllegalStateException e1                    MUtils alertMessage Lang get  desktop not supported    MainPn getMainPn                     e1 printStackTrace                                  catch  IOException   InterruptedException e            e printStackTrace             public static boolean isWindows         return OS contains  win       public static boolean isMac         return OS contains  mac       public static boolean isUnix         return OS contains  nix      OS contains  nux      OS indexOf  aix    gt  0      Then we can call this helper from the instance   button addActionListener new ActionListener         public void actionPerformed ActionEvent e            MUtils openURL  www google com       just what is the  open  method

Use the Desktop browse URI  method   It opens a URI in the user s default browser   public static boolean openWebpage URI uri        Desktop desktop   Desktop isDesktopSupported     Desktop getDesktop     null      if  desktop    null  amp  amp  desktop isSupported Desktop Action BROWSE             try               desktop browse uri               return true            catch  Exception e                e printStackTrace                        return false     public static boolean openWebpage URL url        try           return openWebpage url toURI           catch  URISyntaxException e            e printStackTrace              return false
