Do you just want to open a cmd window and have it stay there? – wkl Nov 21 '10 at 17:08

I want to open a command line window and run a .bat file automatically, but even open the cmd will be good enough, as long as the user can see it and insert his input. – MByD Nov 21 '10 at 17:12

If he wants a platform independent command line then it isn't a duplicate. – Goran Jovic Nov 21 '10 at 17:13

This works (revised solution):
String path = "c:\\";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] { "cmd.exe", "/C", "\"start; cd "+path+"\"" });

This is a comment, not an answer. (But I don't think it's the same question.) – T.J. Crowder Nov 21 '10 at 17:10
