[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Opening a web document

["news.eclipse.org" <jcarroll@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is that an easy way to open a remote document in a web browser in eclipse?
I have a plugin where when you click on an item in a view, I would like a
new web browser created (preferably inside eclipse but I can live with an
external application) started and directed to a remote URL.  I would perfer
to use something built into eclipse, and also not have the user have to
enter information into a property about their prefered browser.

I want the solution to be cross platform which I think rules out the OLE
examples I have seen.  I have also seen that you can use LaunchURL from the
help system, but is that the right way to go or is it specific to the help
system?

Am I just missing an something really easy to do?  Any advice or general
design guidence would be greatly appreciated.
