A request for a change that isn't a bug
This issue was originally filed by Blu...@gmail.com
With a local client side application, with
import 'dart:io';
I think there should be a simple way to find the users current default browser and then load a web page. (Locally stored HTML or a url)
I've searched the API documentation at http://api.dartlang.org, yet have found no easy way, without messing with Processes and having to take care of multiple operating systems.
Are there are plans to simplify this? Preferably similar to the Desktop class in java?(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Desktop.html)
