Call a main method from within a running program

[zoe]

Hi, I'm trying to find out the best way to call a main method from within a running program. Both programs are written in Java.

I've got a Java IDL server up and registered, and what I'd like to do is either call another main method (which starts a GUI) from within the server's main method or create a kind of startup method within my IDL implementation that will remotely start the GUI.

In either case, I need to know the easiest way to kick off the other main method and how I can communicate between each of the processes.
Thanks

That is an interesting problem you are trying to solve. While I don't know much about calling another application from an existing running application, I am gonna try and surf around at work and see what I can come up with.
