when i try this code : i have an error message : windows cannot find "test.bat" make sure you typed the name correctly ... – Sawsen Apr 10 '15 at 09:10
This sounds like you are not using the correct _path_ to your file `test.bat`. A quick fix would be for you to put the full name of the file, e.g. `C:\\Directory\\Subdirectory\\yourbatchfile.bat` – Tim Biegeleisen Apr 10 '15 at 09:14

Add following code line and it will run the bat batFile.bat

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start batFile.bat");

I always do it like this:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe", "/c", "build.bat"});

Or use the ProcessBuilder class in Java: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html

File batchFile = new File("build.bat"); //Or wherever your file is
ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(batchFile.getAbsolutePath());
Process process = processBuilder.start();

For more info, look at the JavaDoc link :)
