How to execute a Java program from C#?

Question

Wondering if anyone knows a nice way to execute a Java command-line program from C# code at run-time ?

Is it the same as executing native .EXE files ?

Answer 1

It's the same as executing native .EXE files, only that the executable you will have to execute is the JVM itself (java.exe).

So, inside your C# code call:

java.exe -jar nameofyourjavaprogram.jar

And you should be fine.

If you don't have your java program on a JAR library, just make the JVM launch with all the parameters you need.
