This post is similar to this post, but not exactly, so I'm asking this question.

How does one go about, From a Java WebStart app:

launch a new browser window with a target URL?
bring an existing browser window into focus with a target URL?

Is the solution OS/platform independent? Does it matter which browser you're talking to?
