Unable to access jarfile, `ProcessBuilder`

Question

I am trying to run a jar file from my java program:

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-jar", "D:\\my.jar"); 
Process p = pb.start();

But I am getting this exception:

Unable to access jarfile D:\my.jar

I am trying this on Windows OS. Am I doing something wrong?

Can you provide complete stack trace? – Aniket Thakur Aug 29 '13 at 10:07 — Aniket Thakur, Aug 29 '13 at 10:07

My bad, I don't know how I missed it but I was not giving complete name of my jar file:

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-jar", "D:\\my.1.6.2.jar"); //<----
Process p = pb.start();

Anyways its working now. Thanks to all those who tried to help.

Um...use Apache Commons Exec isntead. It will relieve you from too much unnecessary trouble.
