Java, run another application in foreground

Question

I want run another application from java code.

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec("cmd.exe");

Process is launched, but in background. How to make it run in foreground?

Answer 1

Process#waitFor() is what you're looking for.

Answer 2

You should tell cmd.exe that you want it to open in new window:

Process pr = rt.exec("cmd.exe /c start");
