Can I run an exe file using a java ??

Question

I want to run any .exe file on my System using Java, I have experience with C++ and few other programming languages but not Java.
Any leads or ideas would be appreciated!

Answer 1

If you want to run a .exe file from within java i believe you can use this
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("yourapp.exe");

Answer 2

i believe you need to convert it into a .jar file so that it can be executed

Answer 3

Java's executable files (.class) runs through a VM... wich is part of the JDE. Why would you run .exe files through java anyway?

Answer 4

I need to run any pre-existing software on the system. I'm trying to make a GUI and want to start a program say "Calculator" on my windows by the press of button.
