Start a java application with terminal

Question

I'm trying to create a java application which starts a new terminal without using java -jar. I tried using several methods, but none of them have worked.

I need this to work on osx, I was able to make it on windwos

Answer 1

You have to call your shell as a program

 Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
 String[] args = { "/bin/sh", "-c", " java -jar myjar.jar" };
 final Process process = runtime.exec(args);

To respond to your specific request, this is my answer

1/ Create a shell script

For example call it loadJava.sh:

#!/bin/sh
java -jar path/to/jar/file.jar

2/ Call the shell script with this java code that open a terminal and run the shell script

Correct code for OSX is

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/bin/open -a Terminal /path/to/the/script");
