Java - opening URL in internet explorer using java Desktop

Sure:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("iexplore.exe www.stackoverflow.com");

This might be late to answer the question, But still I will try to add my 2 cents. The question asked is "How to open URL in internet explorer using java Desktop" The below line of code mentioned in previous answer is correct but it will open in IE only if path is set to it. If there is not path set it will not work and throw error Runtime.getRuntime().exec("iexplore.exe www.stackoverflow.com");

To Force Java open Webpae in IE below is the line of code worked for me even though my default browser is Edge and path for IE is "not" set.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe https://carelink.minimed.eu/");

Thanks

try this:

//e.g. myURL=www.google.ch
public void openBrowser(String myURL) {

    //open default OS browser
    URI myURI;
    try {
        myURI = new URI(myURL);
        Desktop my = Desktop.getDesktop();
        if (!Desktop.isDesktopSupported()) {
            System.out.println("[WARNING] NOT SUPPORTED");
        }
        my.browse(myURI);
    } catch (URISyntaxException | IOException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }
}
