You can do that. Check the file extension and then create an array of String as follows.
String[] cmd = new String[2] ;

// Get the file name and check the file extension
String fileName = getFileName ( ) ;
cmd[1] = fileName ;

// Now based on file extension use the application to open it
if ( fileExtension.equals ( ".jpg" ) {
cmd[0] = "...\\iexplore.exe" ;

}

// Now open the file
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd ) ;

I ran the following hard coded values and it works.
String[] cmd = { "c:\\kishori\\iexplore.exe", "c:\\kishori\\dhr.jpg" } ;
Runtime.getRuntime().exec ( cmd ) ;

Thanx
Kishori
