ProcessBuilder is a more robust way of creating a Process.
To avoid problems later, read and implement all the recommendations of [When Runtime.exec() won't|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html] *(<- link).*
And as an aside, please put a single upper case letter at the start of every sentence. Adding the capital letter helps people to quickly scan the text, looking for ways to help. You would not want to make it harder to help, would you?
