Hi,

I need a functionality similar to the "open" function in the
(windows)explorer. "open" a file with the corresponding application. Is
there something?

I can use Runtime.exec() only with the application name. I would favour a
more flexible way because at programming time are not all types of
applications known.
(btw: is it possible to get registered applications from the os (like Word
for *.doc, *.dot)?)

Ralph
