The builtin mechanism for "opening a browser" would be

Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI("http://your.link..."))

Starting a new window / process each time might only be possible if you know the browser being used and know of a parameter to pass to always create new window.

If you are using windows, this should do the trick:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://www.google.com");

Hope it helps.

as my browser is already opened, i want to open a separate window. It is opening a new tab in the already opened window.
