Solution

  • read this.

    Basically you run new process and execute 

    Process tr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( new String[]{ "XXX" } );

    where XXX is phrase just like you would type in commandline. Remember that program might be in different location than your current execution so you might have to type command like java \path\to\program\program or such.
