How to open Google Chrome with Java

So im trying to make an auto typer right now all i want the program to do is open Google Chrome. Im on a mac so its not a .exe file. The name of the file is (Google Chrome.app) The space in the name confuses me. Heres my code

package com.mycompany.autotyper;

import java.awt.AWTException;
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.io.IOException;

public class AutoTyper {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException, IOException {
        String str = "Hello World!";
    
        Robot rb = new Robot();
    
        Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
        rt.exec("Google Chrome.app");
    

    }
}

For me it worked:

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
        rt.exec("open -a /Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app");

My Google Chrome.app is currently present in /Applications folder.

Use \\ for reading space of file name.
