E.g Say you wanted to save some form details using a menu file|save option. Or would it be better to have the menu within your JSP/Servlet??

ProcessBuilder looks slightly more elegant than having to use the Runtime class. The SageTV software I use states Java 1.4.x as a requirement, so I targeted my code to that version. Maybe I can switch over to ProcessBuilder in a future release. Thanks for the tip Curt. ProcessBuilder looks slightly more elegant than having to use the Runtime class.

I'm not sure why (maybe I'm not as smart), but it seems to be a healthy reminder that Eclipse will force a try/catch block or a throws clause. If I were writing a database application and I knew there was a possible SQLException, I would write graceful handling code for this and a finally block for closing the connection to avoid connection pool leaks. But when it comes to file system exceptions (like file system full, etc.) there's not much I, as a Java programmer, want to do about this, so I would not "check" for those exceptions. My comments may seem trite. However, I've attended many Java User Group presentations where this topic is discussed and debated.
