Transfer execution control from one class to another in Java?

Question

I have a java main program. This program holds function main(String[] args). I have another program that holds function of Junit. Both are independent program and under different packages. After running methods from class (having main function), I want to transfer control to Junit class file (i.e. junit class file take control and run program according to @ annotation).

Is this possible?

Note:

JUnitCore() is not the option. It doesn't for my scenario.
I do not want to run Junit inside my main program. I want it to run as separate application.

Any other suggestions?

Sorry Karna, that doesn't answer my question. I can run Junit test from my java application. I wanted to transfer control from Main function thread to Junit. — Asvhini, Mar 31 '14 at 12:26
@Asvhini, can you eloborate on what you mean by "transfer control"? — Andrey Adamovich, Mar 31 '14 at 12:27
@AndreyAdamovich : I mean to say that I do not want my program to come back to main class. Just treat everything (after completion of main class) as a Junit class. — Asvhini, Mar 31 '14 at 12:29
Having a call to JUnitCore.run as the last statement of your main function will have the same effect, no? — Andrey Adamovich, Mar 31 '14 at 12:36
"*I do not want to run Junit inside my main program. I want it to run as separate application.*" What if you just make a shell script / batch file that first runs your main program, waits for it to finish, and then runs the test program? — Jason C, Apr 12 '14 at 08:02

Yes, you can..

Create the object of org.junit.runner.JUnitCore and invoke the run method with argument as your class containing junit test cases. Invoke the run method when you want to transfer the control.
