Launching a website through button in java

Question

I am developing a software where the users can access any website through the clicking a java button.

JButton button1 = new JButton("Click Me");
button1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent myEvent) {
    // Here clicking this method will open a website
   open("www.myrequiredWesite.com");
}

});

How can i call default browser from the above java source code so that the default browser will open the specific site clicking the button from java graphical user interface.

public static void openPage(URI uri) {
    Desktop desktop = Desktop.isDesktopSupported() ? Desktop.getDesktop() : null;
    if (desktop != null && desktop.isSupported(Desktop.Action.BROWSE)) {
        try {
            desktop.browse(uri);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

public static void openPage(URL url) {
    try {
        openPage(url.toURI());
    } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Note use java.net to use desktop object
