[groovy-user] open gets message "desktop api not supported"

I am running grails 2.0.0 on xubuntu.  The open command is getting the
following message:

grails> open application.properties
| Error Could not open file application.properties: Desktop API is not
supported on the current platform

Suggestions?

Re: [groovy-user] open gets message "desktop api not supported"

I recall solving a similar issue a few years ago :

Java Desktop API is said to work on "Gnome" (so, no KDE, no Xfce...) ; I found out that I only needed (at the time) to install the "gnome-vfs" package.

Warning 1 : this is old ; maybe gnome-vfs no longer exists on your platform
Warning 2 : if it works, I'm not sure it will use your actual desktop bindings (e.g. "Open *.properties with FoobarEdit"), it will probably use some gnome defaults.

Your mileage may vary, yadda yadda. Hope you get better help :-)

Happy new year to all Groovy users.
