Calling other programs from java

Thu Oct 23, 2008 1:49 am

Please does anyone know the API I'll use if I want to call other programs from
java. For instance to load a url in the OS' default browser, or to open a .doc
file using ms word.

Class Runtime from JavaSE API, method exec() should do the work.
