How to control size of launced browser from java(i.e. launch as popup).

[Sharad Kharya]

Hi,
I am trying to launch the IE or Firefox browser from my Java Application. To launch the browser I am using the following code.
My requirement is to control the browser size while launching the browser.

Please let me know how can I control the browser size?

Code snippet

import java.io.IOException;
public class URLLaunch_Test {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String url = "";
		String OS = "Windows";
		if(OS == "Windows")
		{
			String browserPathFF = "E:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe";
			String browser = "firefox"; //Get browser name from above path;
			String option = ""; // get option from parameter
			if(browser == "firefox"){
				if(option == "newwindow"){
					url = browserPathFF + "-new-window" + "www.google.co.in"; 
				}
				if(option == "newtab"){
					url = browserPathFF + "-new-tab" + "www.google.co.in";
					
				}
			}

			//	Get windows browserpath from settings.ini
			String browserPathIE = "E:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe";
			browser = "iexplore"; //Get browser name from above path;
			option = "newwindow";
			if(browser =="iexplore"){
				if(option == "newwindow"){
					url = browserPathIE +" www.google.co.in";
				}
				if(option == "newtab"){
					//will load the default browser according to the browser setting(new tab or new window)
					url = "rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler www.google.co.in"; 
				}
			}
		}
		else{
			//current behaviour will be retained as it is in MAC
		}
		try{
			Runtime.getRuntime().exec(url);  // Launch Browse
		}catch(IOException e){
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

Thanks

Don't know, but if you don't "empty" the two streams from that Process you might get deadlocks. Google for "when Runtime.exec() won't" and read Daconta's article before proceeding. Also look for the ProcessBuilder class, which makes this procedure slightly easier.
