Running .EXE file from Java

Question

Do you know, how run an .exe file, for example Internet Explorer or other program, from Java application?
It's very important for me.

Answer 1

Too run external program and pass string arguments see class java doc
of java.lang.Runtime method exec . You see online or download or
rename src.jar to s.zip EXTRACT and see
exec
public Process exec(String[] cmdarray,
String[] envp)
throws IOException
Executes the specified command and arguments in a separate process with the
specified environment.
This is a convenience method. An invocation of the form exec(cmdarray, envp)
behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation exec(cmdarray, envp,
null).
Parameters:
cmdarray - array containing the command to call and its arguments.
envp - array of strings, each element of which has environment variable
settings in the format name=value, or null if the subprocess should inherit
the environment of the current process.
Returns:
A new Process object for managing the subprocess
Throws:
SecurityException - If a security manager exists and its checkExec method
doesn't allow creation of the subprocess
IOException - If an I/O error occurs
NullPointerException - If cmdarray is null, or one of the elements of
cmdarray is null, or one of the elements of envp is null
IndexOutOfBoundsException - If cmdarray is an empty array (has length 0)

ProcessBuilder
getRuntime
public static Runtime getRuntime()
Returns the runtime object associated with the current Java application.
Most of the methods of class Runtime are instance methods and must be
invoked with respect to the current runtime object.
Returns:
the Runtime object associated with the current Java application.
