title: How do I run an external program inside a Java frame in netbeans in a platform independent manner?
body: <p>I am currently working on a research project for a University in which I am doing GUI interactions with my database and launching an external program based on the data. I'm using runtime commands (once the OS is detected) to launch that external program with the selected data. </p>
  
  <p>My question is how can I embed an external program's GUI inside a Java frame, if that is even remotely possible?</p>
