Maybe you are searching something like Java robot it is similar as Selenium but for system applications. I used this to perform UI-Tests in the past http://alvinalexander.com/java/java-robot-class-example-mouse-keystroke

And to launch one System command from java you can use

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("System specific command line text here");

As well as

File file = new File("/absolute/path/to/yourExecutable");
Desktop.getDesktop().open(file);
