Well you do something like this:

String path = "C:\blah.html";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer "+path);

Assuming this is on a windows system and you want to use IE, of course

The Deitel book "Advanced Java 2 Platform How to Program" includes an example application that displays web pages. The example source code from the book can be downloaded at http://www.deitel.com/books/downloads.html#advjHTP1

Take a look at the WebBrowser example in chapter 2. It does what you're trying to figure out.
