But ?????? can't you do something like this????

public static final void openFileAndExecuteAssociatedApplication(String 
fullPathAndFileName){ 
try { 
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start 
"+fullPathAndFileName); 
p.waitFor(); 
} catch (Throwable ex) { 
ex.printStackTrace(); 
} 
}

I do agree that some of this Runtime stuff is dangerous. I'm just trying
to help, but I don't want to waste time, so this is my last post
regarding this topic. If anyone has a "proven" solution please share and
leave the corrections to God!

Yoav Shapira answered that.  (getRuntime().exec is non-blocking)
Read his reply for the details.
