  • Method Details

    • openUrl

      public boolean openUrl​(String url) throws IOException
      Discovers the operating system the installer is running under and tries to launch the given URL using the default browser for that platform; if unsuccessful, an attempt is made to launch the URL using the most common browsers. As of 0.9.46, fails immediately if JVM is a Windows or Linux Service. BLOCKING. This repeatedly probes the server port at the given url until it is apparently ready.
      Parameters:
      url - The URL to open.
      Returns:
      true if the operation was successful, otherwise false.
      Throws:
      IOException

    • openUrl

      public boolean openUrl​(String url, String browser) throws IOException
      Opens the given URL with the given browser. As of 0.9.38, the browser parameter will be parsed into arguments separated by spaces or tabs. %1, if present, will be replaced with the url. Arguments may be surrounded by single or double quotes if they contain spaces or tabs. There is no mechanism to escape quotes or other chars with backslashes. BLOCKING. However, this does NOT probe the server port to see if it is ready.
      Parameters:
      url - The URL to open.
      browser - The browser to use. See above for quoting rules.
      Returns:
      true if the operation was successful, otherwise false.
