Runtime - external program visibility

Hello,

i use the getRuntime method to start an external program out of 
my Java app: Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
where cmd is an array of String

String[] cmd =
 { "\"c:/Whatever.exe\"","/user=User","/password=XXX"};

Now the issue is that the program (Whatever.exe) starts, it
accepts the parameters (user,password), - the / is required by
Whatever.exe - but the window of the application Whatever.exe is
not visible! The process is there (one can see it in the 
taskmanager). 

In Delphi i have the possibility by using Windows.CreateProcess
 and passing a "StartupInfo" 
(lStartupInfo.dwFlags:= STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
lStartupInfo.wShowWindow:= SW_SHOWNORMAL;) but here in Java i dont see a possibility of determining in which way the external app is being started up or determining its visibility.

kind regards

Oliver
