Question

Here is my code and I am not sure why the following error is coming up:

 Opening firefox at Sun Oct 28 21:45:27 EDT 2012
 java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "firefox.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

public static void open(String app) {
        try {
            Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
            Date now = calendar.getTime();
            System.out.println("Opening " + app + " at " + now);
            ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder(app+".exe");
            builder.start();
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }

Any suggestions?

You have to specify the full path to the Firefox executable.
