This example will call the windows calculator. It’s important to notice that the exit code will vary accordingly to the program/script that is being called.

package process.example;

import java.io.IOException;

public class App {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Executes windows calculator
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("calc.exe");

            // Wait for process until it terminates
            int exitCode = p.waitFor();

            System.out.println(exitCode);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
