I would direct you first to read up on the Java Activation Framework (JAF).
It's a full fledged API from Sun (www.javasoft.com). I'm not sure if it
accomplishes what you wish.

Secondly, the quick and dirty technique, is to launch the program with
exec(). If your program supports the passing of a "file to open" you can
include that parameter in the exec() call.
