Question

I need to write a java program which when executed pushes a command into the terminal

I tried using runtime.exec(); but not working fine for me

what i want is “/home/raj/Desktop/java -jar test.jar” to be executed in terminal

Can any one help me to sort it out.

If you want to actually start a terminal window (rather than just executing the java process) you will need to launch xterm (or something similar) and tell xterm to run java for example

String command= "/usr/bin/xterm -e /home/raj/Desktop/java -jar test.jar"; 
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();      
Process pr = rt.exec(command);
