launching an application from swing button

[Jane Dunne]

Hi,
I want to launch an executable when the user clicks on a swing button but am not sure of how to do this. Any ideas?

Thanks.

import java.lang.Runtime;


String cmd = "cmd /c notepad.exe"
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

Havent tested this, but it should do the trick.
