Is there a way to run this command line within a Java application?

cd "C:\Program Files\myfolder\"&&"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -jar myjar.jar

I can run it with command but i couldnt do it within Java.

why not, use a Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("$your command") — Sajad Bahmani

Be careful for platform-dependant commands such as this. Sometimes there is no choice, but always try to do it in a platform independent method. — Jaco Van Niekerk

In Java, you can use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("yourcommand") to run command line arguments.

I would however suggest using a more portable way of referencing that than what you are currently doing.

You can also use Java 6 Compiler API if you want to load classes at runtime rather than call a java program.
