Hi!!! i am developing an application Launcher using Jswings.

I am taking as an input the path of the .exe , .jar files using JFileChooser and being able to launch applications having .exe files using the code:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("url of the .exe file");

I tried something similar for .jar files also but its not working.Can anyone help me with this? Am i using the right approach or is there a better way to solve the problem?
