How to call Outlook after clicking a button in Java Swing?

Question

I developed a desktop application in Java Swing. When I click a button, I want to open Microsoft Outlook. I am unable to figure it out to do this. Can anybody help me?

Answer 1

One approach is to use the Desktop class to open(File) for which Outlook is the default consumer. Or as pointed out by @Guillaume use Dekstop.mail() (or the overloaded variant) specifically for the email client.
