If you want to run an external program from java, you cando this as follows:
Process lProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(aCommand + " " + aArguments, null, aWorkingFolder);
Optionally you can wait for the process to terminate before continuing with your java application. If you want this you add the next statement:
int exitVal = lProcess.waitFor();
exitVal will contain 0 on success and another value if the process did not terminate properly.
