I don't know what you're trying to do, so I can't really offer any useful
suggestions.

When I managed a Netware network, I used a variety of methods.  Initially 
it was just a collection of .bat files (all the workstations were Dos, no
Windows back then.)  Later I found a nifty menu program, but it's been so
long since I've thought about that guy I don't remember its name.

I don't understand what your setup is, how big your Java app is,  how much
ram the client workstations possess, etc.

To answer your original question, use Runtime.exec() to launch the
star office application.  If that is a shell script, launch a copy of
that shell and pass the start office command to it:

  exec("/bin/bash /usr/local/StarOffice/bin/staroffice");

To use a made-up example.
