Using C to call other programs

[thatos]

I have a java class exe.class I would like to call this program using c.
I tried the following methods none of them seems to work if you know where the problem is please help.

main(){[INDENT]System("java C:/Users/sthato/workspace/NumThe/bin/exe");[/INDENT][INDENT]execlp("java","C:/Users/sthato/workspace/NumThe/bin/exe");[/INDENT][INDENT]execlp("C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_07/bin/java.exe","C:/Users/sthato/workspace/NumThe/bin/exe");[/INDENT]

When I run

java C:/Users/sthato/workspace/NumThe/bin/exe

from command prompt it works.

The name of your class is exe.class, not C:/some/path/to/your/exe.class. Try to use the classpath parameter, i.e:

system("java -cp C:/Users/sthato/worksapce/NumThe/bin exe");

kind regards,
