Runtime class in java

问题:

How to execute a java program with the help of Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). For example we shall have the java file path as c:/java/abc.java. Please help me with the code.

回答1:

Assuming that abc.java contains a main method that you want to execute:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("javac c:\java\abc.java -d c:\java\")
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java c:\java\abc")

回答2:

Do not forget that:

• you may need to read stdout/stderr of a java program

• you may have to set/update environment variable and PATH before executing your java command

  CreateProcess: c:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\helloworld error=2

means Win32's CreateProcess returns a 2 as error code when it cannot find the command you specify; more specifically, when the command does not refer to an executable file on its lookup path.

Look at this SO question for a more complete "Runtime.getRuntime().exec()" code, and also to this snippet.

This code creates a shell (as in Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /K")), in which you write on sdtin whatever command you want to execute.

The interest of this approach is to reuse the shell process to benefit from a previous command: it you execute a 'cd', then execute a 'dir', the latter command would display the content of the directory referenced by the cd command.

The same would be true for PATH settings, just before using javac or java.

回答3:

You should use ProcessBuilder instead of Runtime. Basic usage is like:

Process process = new ProcessBuilder(command).start();

You will find more code under the link above. Also see this question.

回答4:

You mean you want a Java program to run another Java program. This SO thread might be helpful, in that case.

回答5:

String path1 = "f://" + File.separator+username+File.separator+progName; 
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
String command = "javac -classpath " + path + " " + path1;
System.out.println(command);
Process process = runtime.exec(command);
InputStream error = process.getErrorStream();

Please see the excellent resource which used to be called javaalmanac.

try {
    // Execute a command with an argument that contains a space
    String[] commands = new String[]{"grep", "hello world", "/tmp/f.txt"};
    commands = new String[]{"grep", "hello world", "c:\\Documents and Settings\\f.txt"};
    Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
 } catch (IOException e) {
 }
