Class OpenURLAction

java.lang.Object
  edu.stanford.hci.r3.actions.types.OpenURLAction

All Implemented Interfaces:

R3Action

public class OpenURLAction
extends java.lang.Object
implements R3Action

Uses the default browser to launch the specified URL. WARNING: This seems really really slow on Java 6 on my desktop. It is slow (a minute??) on both Firefox and IE7. It used to work well through JDIC on Java 5. We may implement an alternative. UPDATE: This seems to work perfectly fine on my laptop. So yeah, just be aware that it might not work consistently across machines. UPDATE2: HEY, this seems to work now on my desktop. Perhaps it was Google Desktop that was making it slow???
