How to make your java application restarts itself [duplicate]

Answer 1

This is from the other topic but in the opposite to the accepted question in this other topic this one really works.

public void restart() {
          StringBuilder cmd = new StringBuilder();
            cmd.append(System.getProperty("java.home") + File.separator + "bin" + File.separator + "java ");
            for (String jvmArg : ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getInputArguments()) {
                cmd.append(jvmArg + " ");
            }
            cmd.append("-cp ").append(ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getClassPath()).append(" ");
            cmd.append(Window.class.getName()).append(" ");

            try {
                Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd.toString());
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            System.exit(0);
    }
