Command execution by Java Processor

sample code to execute any command on operating system by using java processor.

for example :
To find jdk installed in system, We can run the command "where javac" for window and "where is javac" for linux
the above command will return path javac.exe/javac.bin, by using that path we have to go to root folder to find system is having jdk.

code :
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
