Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad.exe");

Here is my actual requirement...
the input files will be places in one folder(normally .tif images)..i will give those to OCREngine(Omnipage)..it will processes and gives me the output in .txt or .csv fomat
Instead of maula processing (taking .tif image and giving it to OCR) my java code has to do this..but the main condition is nowhere i want to found the GUI of Omnipage.

Can the OCR Engine actually take parameters in the first place?

Well, Process has a disadvantage when it comes to passing some parameters on .exe programs and also capturing .exe's output while invoking it....
Try this alternative,
javax.tools.

If the OCR Engine isn't actually designed to take parameters then I dont think you will be able to do this Jazz.

Yeah as Jazz said in the first post, he is talking about the Optical Character Recogniazation engine.
I don't know anything about this but we should wait for him to reply before we go any further.
Like I say, if this program cant actually take parameters then he won't be able to do what he wants.
It sounds to me as if everything is set in the OCR GUI. Not the command line..

Sorry for the dalay...
My Requirement is:
All the .tif are stored in a sharepoint when the client clicks it then our OCR engine invokes and start ocring.for this i need to write a java component.What i am thinking is if we go with .exe in our program it will be easy task for us.  ..???
In genaral words..write a java component to watch one folder(file pollar type) ..pick up one tif image send it to ocr ..process it ..give the result(.txt 0r .csv) to back to same folder bresides in sharepoint...

It would be easy to locate the tif files in a directory and launch the .exe. BUT, if the OCR engine does not take parameters when launching the exe, then you will not be able to do this!

So when .tif files are placed into the workflow folder, the OCR automatically starts?

The tif s are stored in a sharepoint folder.we need to start ocr.exe through our program and also need to give the tif folder path.then the engine should picks the tifs one after another note that it should run background(Reason the client doesnot knows what is the ocr engine we are using) and gives the text files as output.
