Hi all,
How would one run another program from a JAVA program. For example, how would one code a program open a web browser or compile another JAVA file?
Sincerely,
Parth

The short answer to this question is that you use the command:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("javac MyClass.java");
However there are some pitfalls and things to be aware of in running this. Here's a link to an article that explains some of them:

Good Luck.

If you want to compile the other classes at runtime, see Compiler class in Java API.
