My suggestion is that you create an applet and run code like the following:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("file.exe", null, new File("."));

If you want to be able to pass arguments to the java applet, you'll have to learn about communication between JavaScript and Java in applets. See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/invokingAppletMethodsFromJavaScript.html

This is totally untested, and you may have to get your applet signed and deal with SecurityManager https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/security.html
