How to run java .class file from a script providing some command line parameters? The script is built using autohotkey framework. Can we trigger the execution of .class files from a script? Please let me know if I am wrong.

    You cannot run a class file directly. You run the executable java or javaw, usually with a jar file as the argument. So if autohotkey can run an executable, it can run Java. – John Watts Jun 13 '12 at 12:11

I am not familiar with autohotkey, but if your command line is something like 

java -cp <yourclasspath> <yourclassname> <yourarguments>

you are good to go, I guess.

ADDITION:

It seems to me that the Run directive allows you to do that. Assuming to have your MyClass.class file (with MyClass in the default package) in C:\mypath, I expect you have to issue something like

Run,java -cp . MyClass,C:\mypath

I am not able to verify the above line, since I do not have a Windows installation at hand.
