eval is a shell feature. There is no way to call it from java to set up the environment for future commands the way you can for a shell.

If you want to run a second command from Java that depends on doing eval "$(minikube docker-env)" first, you can instead run a single shell with both commands:

String shellCommand = "eval \"$(minikube docker-env)\"; your-second-command";
Runtime.exec(new String[] { "sh", "-c", shellCommand });
