See if this is useful.
what made you ask this question in Swing Forum ?
Process P=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad "+"C:\\A.txt");        
//Process P=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("D:\\j2sdk1.4.2_05\\bin\\javac.exe  "+"Demo.java");
InputStream err = P.getErrorStream();
InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(err);
BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(in);
String line = null;
while ( (line = buff.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(line);
int exitVal = P.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
