@DebanjanB, Thanks for the help. After I changed the version of the selenium to alpha , I am able to connect to the app with out errors. I am using the following code now :

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        int port = 9223;
        // Open App

        Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
                "C:\\Program Files\\SampleApp.exe", null,
                new File("C:\\Program Files\\SampleApp"));

        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        String remoteDebuggingAddress = "localhost:" + port;
        options.setExperimentalOption("debuggerAddress", remoteDebuggingAddress);
        options.addArguments("remote-debugging-port=9223");
        options.setBinary(
                "C:\\Program Files\\SampleApp.exe");

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
                "C:\\Users\\xyz\\eclipse-workspace\\xyz\\src\\demo1\\chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());

    }

The issue is I am not able to access the elements in chromium at http://localhost:9223/ When I open the chromium or chrome browser at teh local host the following text is displayed . Normally a link is expected . Link or the WebElements are not displayed.
