独立进程 java,在单独的进程中执行Java应用程序

Can a Java application be loaded in a separate process using its name, as opposed to its location, in a platform independent manner?

I know you can execute a program via ...

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( COMMAND );

... the main issue of this method is that such calls are then platform specific.

Ideally, I'd wrap a method into something as simple as...

EXECUTE.application( CLASS_TO_BE_EXECUTED );

... and pass in the fully qualified name of an application class as CLASS_TO_BE_EXECUTED.

Two hints:

System.getProperty("java.home") + "/bin/java" gives you a path to the java executable.

((URLClassLoader) Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()).getURL() helps you to reconstruct the classpath of current application.

Then your EXECUTE.application is just (pseudocode):

Process.exec(javaExecutable, "-classpath", urls.join(":"), CLASS_TO_BE_EXECUTED)
