    • Method Detail

      • run

        public ProcessIO run​(java.lang.String... commands)
        Run the jar tool. Not to be confused with "executing a jar file". There's a different, more appropriately-named method for that.
        Parameters:
        commands - The commands the jar tool will run. DO NOT prepend the commands with the jar command. That would be telling the jar command to run itself.
        Returns:
        A composite result of the run.

      • execute

        public ProcessIO execute​(java.lang.String... commands)
        Execute a jar file in the JVM. Not to be confused with "running the jar tool". There's a different, more appropriately-named method for that.
        Parameters:
        commands - The commands that will be passed to the Main-Class of the jar that will be executed. DO NOT prepend the commands with the neither the java command nor the -jar command. That would be telling java to run itself.
        Returns:
        A composite result of the execution.
