osx - How to run a Mac application From Java? -
i tried code below run stand-alone utility app created apple script but, no file or directory exists error. i put identical copies (for testing) in project, dist, parent directories but, didn't help. so, questions are: call run app bad (perhaps because it's not windows exe)? how run mac app java? thanks private void jbutton1actionperformed(java.awt.event.actionevent evt) { // todo add handling code here: runtime r=runtime.getruntime(); process p=null; string s="mylineininput.app"; try { p = r.exec(s); } catch (ioexception ex) { logger.getlogger(audioswitcherview.class.getname()).log(level.severe, null, ex); } } a mac app bunde not executable file, it's folder special structure. can opened using open command, passing app bundle path argument: open mylineininput.app . edit: better using desktop.getdesktop().open(new file("mylineininput.app"));
