Question

I use the below code to launch a web page in default system browser:

String url = "http://www.google.com"; 

java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop().browse(java.net.URI.create(url));

however i want my web page to be displayed in a popup browser window with a given size (with,height) like we can do in javascript with Window Object.

is there a way i can control from java the default browser and ask it to open a popup window with a given size?

Answer 1

there is this good project http://browserlaunch2.sourceforge.net/

you invoke a new browser window like below. however it probably doesn’t offer option for setting window height and width.

BrowserLauncher browser =new BrowserLauncher();
                browser.setNewWindowPolicy(true);
                browser.openURLinBrowser(url);
