.bat are (old) ms-dos batch files, in which some scripting can execute a batch of commands for you. In short, this has nothing to do with Java.
Btw, you can execute them in (at least) 2 ways :
by typing their name in a command prompt (wow!) and by double clicking them in Windows (double wow!! )
Greetings, Erik

Actually it is about java if the question is how to start a .bat file FROM java.
Try-
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /K start run.bat");
On the other hand you can also use .bat file to start your java application
myApp.bat

(put whatever pathing and changing of directory commands you need here)
java -cp ./yourclasspath myApp parameter1 etc.
