Dear all,
How can I use pure Java program to call Windows programs(.exe)? e.g notepad.exe. Is there any package available in JDK?
thanks
Marco

Marco,
You can use one of the various java.lang.Runtime.exec() methods. *WARNING* Using this method will probably make your code platform depedent. Using exec() is not JAVA friendly. 
For example, there is no way for me to run your application on a UNIX box if it's going to try to kick off a notepad.exe application.
