I have written a plugin application and i am trying to execute a java application from this plugin using
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "java programname" );

But when i run the plugin i get a NoClassDefFound error. I have include the jar file of the called program in the plugin application.Am i missing something?

Please help me with this.
Thanks!

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) doesn't know anything from the eclipse world, e.g. it does'nt know the class path entries of your plugin.xml.

You have to manually specify the classpath to the jar(s) and even mostly the path to a java runtime/jdk.
