How to open files using default association

807591Apr 10 2008 — edited Apr 29 2008

Hello,

I'm trying to programmatically open files with their OS default associations. So for windows platform I have:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL " + file.getAbsolutePath());

This does not work when file names contain unicode characters like "�s��.jpg". Does anyone have a solution for this? What is the proper and recommended way to open files?

Thanks,
Marcin
