Java and OAuth

I have a Java native app I am trying to implement Oauth for. I have gone thru this article by Pat Patterson:

http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Digging_Deeper_into_OAuth_2.0_on_Force.com

 

I am a little lost on a couple of points. I can work out how to make a call from Java to the initial URL (https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=xxx&redirect_uri=myapp:oauth&display=full). From what I can see, this returns a redirect. What exactly does the Java app have to do to bring up the browser window with the authorization request?  And how does the Java app then get back the reponse with the tokens?

 

Thx, Hamayoun

Do you really need OAuth on screen? Have you tried using the consumer key and consumer secret.
