Possible to Run a Java GUI on a computer from an Android?

If an Android device were connected to a computer via USB charger, would it be possible to launch a java GUI on the computer from the device (i.e. by pressing a button in an android app)?

Also, would this be a platform dependency nightmare?

Possible yes, not easy though and there may be some platform issues.

You would already need to have something running on the destination computer which detected the message from Android and then launched the GUI.

In fact the simplest way to do that may be to ignore the USB and just do the whole thing over the network.

You can't just run arbitrary code on the computer by plugging the phone in though, if you think about it that would be a massive security hole!
