How to run Docker container from Java project?

Question

How to run a docker container from java code? I'm trying to make a SaaS using docker, once the user logs in, I should start a memcached container from java code, this solution doesn't work:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("docker images");

Docker cmds run usually on git bash, not on cmd.
PS: I'm using docker on windows.
