After lots of comments I catch the real question. So my answer is:

Of course it is better to use java feauters, because:

  1. If you wan't your program to be portable you can't use command line, because it wouldn't work on unix or other systems expect windows. Also can't work on some other versions of windows.
  2. To use command line feautures from your code you should creat new process end execute this commands, which is very slow.

Normally it's not a good idea to depend on OS specific things in a platform independent environment, not mentioning the speed which would be much slower with the local commands.

I would stick with the Java implementations, if it's possible with them.
