Execute Unix command from Java

In Java how can I execute the following shell command:

osmosis --read-xml file="planet-latest.osm" --bounding-polygon file="country.poly" --write-xml file="australia.osm"

I tried executing it with this code:

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("osmosis --read-xml file="planet-latest.osm" --bounding-polygon file="country.poly" --write-xml file="australia.osm"");
InputStream output = proc.getInputStream();

but it seems that the Unix command is not executed.

try escaping the double "

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("osmosis --read-xml file=\"planet-latest.osm\" --bounding-polygon file=\"country.poly\" --write-xml file=\"australia.osm\"")

Using the Runtime is a deprecated way of executing commands. Take a look at ProcessBuilder

You may need to specify the complete path to osmosis.
