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.
