Open a URL in Chrome using Java in Linux and MAC

In Linux you can use like this:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"bash", "-c", "/path/to/chrome http://yourwebsite.com"});

Replace the /path/to/chrome with the path in your system. Generally Google Chrome is installed at /opt/google/chrome/chrome

Or you can use google-chrome like this:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"bash", "-c", "google-chrome http://yourwebsite.com"});

If you want to open up in chromium browser in Linux use it like this:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"bash", "-c", "chromium-browser http://yourwebsite.com"});

For MAC OS try like this:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"/usr/bin/open", "-a", "/Applications/Google Chrome.app", "http://yourwebsite.com/"});

You can use Selenium.

   import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class App
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable
    {
        ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/usr/bin/google-chrome");

        // And now use this to visit Google
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
}

this should work fine for ubuntu 15.10 or higher

    String[] cmd = {"bash","-c","google-chrome www.yourUrl.com"};
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

Hope it helps.
