I’m trying to open a PDF file after I generate a report. I mean, the user logs in (it’s a Swing-based app) and clicks to generate a report. Then, a PDF file is generated. I would like to launch the PDF reader at that moment. I could do something like exec("evince "+path_to_pdf_file). It’s just for Ubuntu, Windows would be more difficult. I’m thinking I need to explore the registry.
How can I achieve this?
What you need is the method java.awt.Desktop#open
