Simple.

Take that URL and Throw it against the Operating System.

the OS will use the default browser to open the link and show it to the user:

Java

try {
  Desktop desktop = java.awt.Desktop.getDesktop();
  URI oURL = new URI("http://www.google.com");
  desktop.browse(oURL);
} catch (Exception e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

This is safe, cause it does not have any application reference to any browser or so - the OS decides. It's also a great way to deal with PDF files.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

public class DownloadPage {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

// Make a URL to the web page
URL url = new URL("http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6159118/using-java-to-pull-data-from-a-webpage");

// Get the input stream through URL Connection
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
InputStream is =con.getInputStream();

// Once you have the Input Stream, it's just plain old Java IO stuff.

// For this case, since you are interested in getting plain-text web page
// I'll use a reader and output the text content to System.out.

// For binary content, it's better to directly read the bytes from stream and write
// to the target file.

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));

String line = null;

// read each line and write to System.out
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
}
}
