How to run external programs within the Java framework in NetBeans in a platform independent manner?

I'm currently working on a research project for a university. I'm GUI interacting with my database and starting external programs based on the data I am using the runtime command (once OS is detected) to start the external program with the selected data

My question is how to embed the GUI of external programs in the Java framework, if it can even be implemented remotely?

Solution

In view of the clarification comments on the question, the short answer is "no, you can't do that."

Java cannot display the GUI of a native program in JFrame, even if the target program is actually built to allow its GUI to be rendered in the framework of another program
