I'd look at some of the HTML beans (start with JavaSoft).  Launching a
native app would require different code per OS (at least for the OS's
that supported registries that you could look into to find the default
browser) and native code to do the actual work.  Using an HTML bean
would let you keep it "all in the family", and most of them have much
smaller footprints then IE or Communicator.
