hi,
I want to open any application based on the extension of the file through my java program. For example, if i have a abc.doc file then it must be launched in MS Word.
For this i have used native method (JNI approach) and used Window API method, ShellExecute(). Now i want the same thing using Mac API.

So can anyone tell me a Mac API method for doing the same.
Please help. Its urgent.

Thanx n Regds.

Cocoa, I assume?

Use NSWorkspace's

public boolean openFile(
String fullPath,
String appName)
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/...space/openFile

(I hope that's what you want)

i have tried a program and used NSWorkSpace, openURL() method.
But its giving NoClassDefFoundException().

Program:

import com.apple.cocoa.application.*;
import java.net.*;
public class OpenFile
{
NSWorkSpace itsWSpace = new NSWorkSpace();
URL itsURL = null;
public OpenFile()
{
try
{
itsURL = new URL("www.google.com");
}catch(MalformedURLException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
boolean result = itsWSpace.openURL(itsURL);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
OpenFile aFile = new OpenFile();
}
}
