I am currently working on a research project for a University in which I am doing GUI interactions with my database and launching an external program based on the data. I’m using runtime commands (once the OS is detected) to launch that external program with the selected data.
My question is how can I embed an external program’s GUI inside a Java frame, if that is even remotely possible?
Given the clarifying comments on the question, the short answer is “no, you can’t do that”.
Java cannot display a native program’s GUI within a JFrame, even if the target program was actually architected to allow it’s GUI to be presented within another program’s frame.
