JLabel as a clickable hyperlink

Question

I have taken one JFrame in which we have shown the information about our firm there is one information(label) like:

website: www.samteksystems.com I want that whenever I click on www.samteksystems.com it should display that website. Please help me in this.

Perhaps you want to add a MouseListener to the JLabel that holds the information, and in this MouseListener's mousePressed method, you would start the default browser and direct it to your page. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Apr 04 '11 at 04:06

You can add a mouseListener to the label, and in the mouseReleased() method, you could use Desktop.browse() to visit the URL.
