Open a new prompt/terminal window from Java

Question

I want to open a new terminal window, which will run a certain command upon opening. It preferably needs to be a real native window, and I don\'t mind writing different code

Answer 1

Opening an actual terminal window will definitely require different code for each OS. For Mac, you want something like:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/bin/open -a Terminal /path/to/the/executable");
