Java Tutorial/Development/ProcessBuilder

ProcessBuilder: start and manage processes (programs)

import java.io.IOException;
public class MainClass {
  public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
    ProcessBuilder proc = new ProcessBuilder("notepad.exe", "testfile");
    proc.start();
  }
}

Use of ProcessBuilder that duplicates the functions of the DoRuntime example:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
    Process process = new ProcessBuilder(args).start();
    InputStream is = process.getInputStream();
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line;
    System.out.printf("Output of running %s is:", Arrays.toString(args));
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
      System.out.println(line);
    }
  }
}
