Is there any way to run the jar file generated by Java in Java, not cmd?

Asked 2 years ago, Updated 2 years ago, 80 views

As the title says, I wonder if there is a way to run Java's jar file in the java main instead of the cmd window.

jar

We recommend using ProcessBuilder.

You can use it like this.

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("/path/to/java", "-jar", "your.jar");
pb.directory(new File("preferred/working/directory"));
Process p = pb.start();

How about using JarClassLoader in Oracle's Java Tutorial?
