Excuiting a jar file

Posted 21 September 2011 - 10:25 AM

I have been playing with Java for a couple of weeks now and i belive i am starting to get the hang of it. I have created a updater which will check the version of a program on my computer if not it will download the newest version.
After this process i would like it to execute another jar file, which was downloaded in the update package.

Is it possible to execute a jar file from my updater jar? Without including it in the build.

I have done quite abit of searching around but i keep digging up stuff on how to run a jar from a command line etc.

Thanks,
Tom

Have you looked at the ProcessBuilder API? Here are some relevant Google search results.
