Can you elaborate? Perhaps post some code and an actual error statement. Also, how does this question relate to SWT or JFace (which is the forum that this question has been posted in)? Should I move this question to the AWT forum?

no .. u dont need to move it ... the reason why i posted it in swt because im using the swt embedding awt.. actually my program is, i need to open a folder when i hit the button... this folder contains all my files.. its like open you my documents in windows... unfortunately the java.awt.desktop class is not available.. here is my code

package webportalcms;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.awt.Desktop;

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;

//Can be open the uploaded files
public class FilesFolder {

	public FilesFolder(Display display) throws IOException {
	      //File path = new File("bin/files"); // path to the directory to be opened
		File path = new File("bin/files/");
	  		Desktop desktop = null;
	  		if (Desktop.isDesktopSupported()) {
	  			desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
	  		}
	  		try {
	  			desktop.open(path);
	  			
	  		} catch (IOException e) {
	  		}

	}
