Class FileLauncher

java.lang.Object

com.lf.commons.installer.FileLauncher

public class FileLauncher
extends java.lang.Object

Wrapper for installers like install4j to let the system open a local file.

Normally it's sufficient to simply install the target file directly to be opened but then you depend on installed viewers. The icon in the menu will not show up if an appropriate application is missing (e.g. Acrobat for PDF files). To avoid such situations use this simple wrapper class to have any file be installed properly with icons.

Basically calls the Desktop.open() method with the file argument and exits.
