Maybe this could help you as an example, but I would suggest to do some more
eductional reading on java ;-)

import Java.lang.*;
import Java.io.*;

public class RuntimeExecTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = { "Notepad.exe",
"D:\\TEMP\\Test.txt" };
try {
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
child.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exit code is:
  " + child.exitValue());
}
catch(IOException e) {
System.err.println(
 "IOException starting process!");
}
catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.err.println(
 "Interrupted waiting for process!");
}
}
}
