Problem in executing jar when the folder name has empty space

Question

Hi,
I need to run my java swing application on double clicking the jar file. It works fine when the file path has no empty spaces in the folder name. It doesnt open when the folder name has spaces in between them. Can anyone let me know how to resolve it.
String workingDir = new File("SwingApplication").getAbsolutePath();
String cmd = "java -jar " ++workingDir ++"/SwingApplication.jar";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);This works fine when the SwingApplication.jar is inside for eg: c://{color:#ff0000}RunApplication{color}/SwingApplication.jar
but the application doesnt open if the file path is c://{color:#0000ff}Run Application{color}/SwingApplication.jar

..ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("java -jar");
pb.directory(new File(workingDirPath + "/SwingApplication.jar"));
Process p = pb.start();
. but getting an exception
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "java -jar" (in directory "C:\Run Application\SwingApplication.jar"): CreateProcess error=267, The directory name is invalidWhile..
C:\Run Application\..might be a directory, is..
C:\Run Application\SwingApplication.jar?
I was thinking something more like this (untested)..
String path = workingDirPath + "/SwingApplication.jar";
String[] command = {
     "java",
     "-jar",
     path
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(command);
Process p = pb.start();BTW - when posting code, code snippets, HTML/XML or input/output, please use the code tags. The code tags protect the indentation anf formatting of the sample. To use the code tags, select the sample and click the CODE button.
