Bug Description

On some systems (e.g. Ubuntu 14.04) opening Help file (help/start.html) results in the following exception:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Desktop API is not supported on the current platform

This is due to bad support for Desktop API in Java for Linux platforms. A solution is to try platform-specific browse/open/edit commands, as described here:
