java - When I pass ArrayList to ProcessBuilder I get the No such file or directory error -

i have following test code:

public class testprocessbuilder {  public static void main(string args[]) { string imagelocation = "/home/john/image"; string installcommand = "java -jar install.jar -install /home/john/install.properties"; processbuilder pb = new processbuilder();  pb.directory(new file(imagelocation)); pb.command(arrays.aslist(installcommand.split("\\+s")));   try {       pb.start();   } catch(exception e) {     e.printstacktrace();     system.out.println("failed run command");    }  } 

this gives me error:

cannot run program "java -jar install.jar -install /home/john/install.properties" (in directory "/home/john/"): error=2, no such file or directory 

do have create separate list , manually add each tokenized item it. thought should work...

you should make sure path java folder exported. can use similar this:

public static void main(string[] args) {     string command = "java";     string parameters = "-jar install.jar -install /home/john/install.properties";     processbuilder pb = new processbuilder(command, parameters);      try {         pb.start();     } catch (ioexception e) {         e.printstacktrace();     } } 

depends of need, use if want pass whole command in 1 string:

    try {         runtime.getruntime().exec("java -jar install.jar -install /home/john/install.properties");     } catch (ioexception e) {         e.printstacktrace();     }
