If i am using following command in java:
Process ps = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("some .exe file of VB");
How do I know that the particular .exe has done its job eg: it executed successfully.
How do i know that it has some error or just completed half task in java. How should I design my program in java to know or Is there any way to tell java from VB.
Any help is appreciated.

I would assume that you could look at the exit status of the program: ps.exitValue()
or you could read the stdout/stderr ps.getInputStream()
/ ps.getErrorStream()
respectively.

You get back a Process
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17476_01/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Process.html
Which has such methods as:
exitValue()
getErrorStream()
waitFor()
Which will get you what you need
