Of course.

It is not suitable for all situations, and he OP has since(?)
clarified that this task needs to be done in a separate JVM.
And to the OP - do you now see the advantage of actually
*describing* the problem domain, rather than simply give a
vague description and 'what you want to do'?
However, even with the initial description my assumption would be exec.
I don't think the main call technique should ever be used to "launch
another java app".
It is only really a good technique for running a main class that is
logically part of the calling application, so closely coordinated with
it that the caller and callee should run as one application, using a
single environment, class loader, heap, etc.
