+====== Launching an Application with a Space in its Name ======
+Using [[http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#exec(java.lang.String)|Runtime.getRuntime().exec()]] to launch an application is pretty straight forward, except when you're trying to start an application whose name contains one or more spaces.
+Under Windows, you need to quote the application name:
+<code java>
+Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\"My Appliaction.exe\"");
+</code>
+or use a String array:
+<code java>
+Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"My Application.exe"});
+</code>
+Under Mac OS X, you need to call open:
+<code java>
+Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"open", "My Application.app"});
+</code>
+Under Linux, you must use a String array:
+<code java>
+Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"My Application"});
+</code>
