Execute a Java program from our Java program

Question

I used

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(\"_____\")

but it throws a IOException as below:

java.io.IOException: Create         


        

Answer 1

public class Test {    
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {    
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"c:/program files/windows/notepad.exe\"");
    p.waitFor();
  }

}

The above works quite well, instead of passing \"c:/program files/windows/notepad.exe\" as the arguments for the executable, use the path to your program, I'm not sure if this solution is JVM version dependent, or if it can use relative paths.
