null (Possible: Set path to browser or any command launching url. If not set, default browser is used. If default browser is not available, you will be be prompted to provide URL consumer. Eg: firefox, or (windows) rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler , microsoft-edge, (mac) safari, xdg-open (linux) like commands. In headless mode you can use wget, curl or lynx. It can be also javaws itself to launch other jnlp. You can set yor custom browser via deployment.browser.path property. $BROWSER environment variable is serving same purpose. You can use keyword INTERNAL-HTML to launch internal browser. But be warned, it is terrible. Use ALWAYS-ASK to enforce prompt each time instead of using defaults.)
