如何使用 java 在客户端计算机上打开 URL

Question

I am trying to open a static url from a web application when user clicks a button on a screen. Our application is deployed on a linux box and using the below program its trying to open a browser. Can you please advise how I can get it to to open it on the client instead ?

All our users access this application from windows.

try {
          Desktop desktop = java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop();
          URI oURL = new URI("http://www.google.com");
          desktop.browse(oURL);
        } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }

I'm 99% sure above solution works only for windows, for unix I believe you should try something like this:

Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
runtime.exec("/usr/bin/firefox -new-window " + url);
