Execute a jar in my program!

Here is what i have to do, There is a tread looping in a folder checking if a new file is created. Once a file is created, it copies and renames the file into another folder. I then call the JAR to execute some other commands on this file.

I unfortunatly dont have access to the code of this JAR so no way to go add the watch over there. The watch and copying are working fine, the only thing left, is to call the jar.

So far i have tried many things, even creating a .bat file that calls the .jar and calling that instead.

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C d:\\docume~1\\pw44500\\desktop\\aimsta~1\\aimsta~1.jar");

absolutley nothing happenes. I tried this different ways,

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("d:\\docume~1\\pw44500\\desktop\\aimsta~1\\aimsta~1.jar");

and i tried the same code with run.bat instead of aimsta~1.jar and again nothing.

Thanks for your help!!!

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar d:\\docume~1\\pw44500\\desktop\\aimsta~1\\aimsta~1.jar");
