java application to run a batch file

[lhugh]

I need to run a batch file (test.bat) in c:\windows\test.bat

I would like to create a Java application to run my above batch file. Is it possible?

[For the future] This should really be posted in the J2SE forum forum269 , as this one is for J2EE really. Anyway,

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:/windows/test.bat")
int exitCode = p.waitFor();
if (exitCode != 0) throw new IOException("Native shell call exited with a non-zero value : " +exitCode);
