There have been a few other questions on here sort of like this, but none seem to have any answers.

Is it possible to open the command prompt (and I guess any other terminal for other systems), and execute commands in the newly opened window?

Currently what I have is this:

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
rt.exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe","/c","start"});

I've tried adding the next command after the "start", I've tried running another rt.exec containing my command, but I can't find a way to make it work.

If it matters, I'm trying to run a command similar to this:

java -flag -flag -cp terminal-based-program.jar
