To start external program with Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) in foreground
I have a JFrame with JTable. When I click a row in JTable another GUI process is started with Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...), e.g. "notepad.exe". However that new window appears not in foreground, but below my swing window. How to start a new process window and bring it to top?
(WindowsXP, jre 1.6_12)

The new process is independent of the spawning process. You have to use whatever constructs it has to bring it to the top.

And what constructs I can use to control another process window in Java? JNI or anything else?

...check the command line options of the process you are spawning.
