anyone know's a class for executing external apps?

[kubriks_cube]

Hello.


I'm looking for a class that implements a method for executing an external application in windows.


For example : if i wish to listen to an audio file, and i have a button in my applet, what can i do, so that when that button is pressed, plays that audio file?

Is there a method in any class that implements that functionality?

Thanks in advance, KC

    Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process proc = run.exec(cmd);
    int Result = proc.waitFor();

Only thing you have to remember is that some applications always return 1 as result, no matter if it actually was successfull.

I use this to startup an external program for audio conversion, so I check the actual success by looking if the output file of the conversion actually exists.
