Java execute process on linux

Question

I\'ve been struggling for a while now with this problem and i can\'t seem to fix it. i already have tried different approaches (Runtime.exec(), ProcessBuiler) but none seem

Answer 1

The problem is this:

String startupCommand = "java -jar \"" + this.getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath().replace("%20", " ") + "\"";

/* more stuff */ builder.command(startupCommand);

This means Jav will look for a command named java -jar ...stuff with spaces.... But what you want is, that Java looks for a command named java and give that command several parameters.

You should use

/*...*/ builder.command("java", "-jar", jarLocation) /*...*/
