See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/File.html What Stephen was referring to was executing arbitrary shell executables which is of course non-portable across OSs and has deadlock issues (though they can be worked around to a great degree). It's also aesthetically at odds with the general Java paradigm and so should really be a last resort.
