How to run a jar file from a Button click in swing.

[killerf2006]

Hi all,
I'm new to this site and new to java programming.
I have a doubt.
Is it possible to run a jar file from a button click in swing.
Help required in this. If possible can you post the code please.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure what you are asking.
You can run/execute a program from a java program by using the Process and Runtime classes. Create a command line to "run the jar file" and pass it to the methods of the above classes to execute it.

Have the button listener start a thread to do the above.

Swing has nothing to do with this problem.
