Thread: Passing several files to another java program.

Rather than use Java I would do this with something like a shell script, an Ant file, or some other platform that is typically used to run external applications on files.

The File class has a method to return a list of files in a directory.
The Runtime class has a method that will execute a command-line built in the program.

Are those the capabilities you need?

with runtime() would I be able to process the list of files

The Runtime class has a method that will execute a commandline. Do you have a command that can be executed from a commandline that will do what you want?
Open a DOS window and execute a command to see if it does what you want. That command can then be executed in the Runtime class's method.

through jd-cli.jar

If the program you want to execute is a java program contained in a jar file and it can execute in the same JVM as the driver program, then you can call its main method directly without using the Runtime class's method.
There would be a problem that would need special handling if the called program uses the System.exit() method.
