Is there a function like ShellExecute in Java?

Question

Im just looking for function that can run some .exe files But I didn't find that function in Java ShellExecute(Operation, File, Parameters, Directory, ShowCmd : String) is there a function like that?

Regarding the previous close: ShellExecute is not the same as `Runtime.exec`. — Joachim Sauer, Apr 29 '20 at 11:46

java.awt.Desktop provides some of that functionality:

browse can be used to open the default browser for a specific URI
open opens a file for viewing (with the default viewer of the OS)
edit opens a file for editing (with the default editor of the OS)
...

If you want to run arbitrary exe files, however, then Runtime.exec is the way to go (but using it can be tricky, as you need to consume all streams for it to not lock up).
