Open a dir and a file with its associated program in win, but in Linux ?

In windows I can open a dir in an explorer window with this java code:

For winnt o 2000

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C start c://db /B");

For win9x

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start c://db");

For opening a file in win I can use this java code:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C start filename /B");

or

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start filename");

In linux how can I do the same thing ?
