The Java Desktop Integration Components project provides components which give Java applications the same access to operating system services as native applications. For example, a Java application running on one user's desktop can open a web page using that user's default web browser , but the same Java application running on a different user's desktop would open the page in Opera.Initially the project supports features such as embedding the native HTML browser, programmatically opening the native mail client, using registered file-type viewers, and packaging JNLP applications as RPM, SVR4, and MSI installer packages. As a bonus, an SDK for developing platform-independent screensavers is included.Most of the features provided by JDIC were incorporated into the JDK starting with version 1.6. As a result, the development of the project has come to an end.
