Java Global Question
Hello all,
My (first ;)) question is:
How do I write two seperate applications and make one of them run the other (similar to calling executeables in VB)
I hope my question is clear enough...
Thanks ahead for your help!

not sure if you simply mean calling a different class fromthe one you are in!
if so do this
public void DifClass()
{
NewClass b=new Newclass();
b.Start();//function in class Newlass
}
any code in NewClass is ran before control is handed back to first class

First, thanks for your answer, Alex.
I know I can use another class, instantiate it and call a method to run it.
But that's not what I meant.
Since I am newbie with Java, I may not understand the concept...
Let me try to describe the question better.
I have one Java application written by someone.
I want his application (which I can't alter the code in), to use my GUI application (that I still need to write ;))
Now how do I tell him to "run" my application.
In VB / C++, I would create my own EXE / DLL and hand it to him with a known interface or command line.
In Java, there are no executables nor DLLs as far as I understand.
So how do I integrate my code into his code :confused:
Hope it's more clear this time :o
Thanks!!!

Take a look at the Runtime class, especially the exec methods.
If you want to communicate with the program you launch, or capture its output, look at the Process class.
