Executing shell commands using ProcessBuilder in linux

Question

I have a code which takes some adb commands and reads the input to be later reflected in JTextField. It works fine in windows but in linux, the same code gives a host of errors such as IOexception(No such file or directory). Do we have to specify OS specific environment setup in this case

ProcessBuilder process5 = new ProcessBuilder("adb", "shell","getprop","ro.product.model");   
Process p1 = process5.start();
InputStream stdin1 = p1.getInputStream();
BufferedReader writer1 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stdin1));         
String model=writer1.readLine();

Error mgs-

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "adb": error=2, No such file or directory

Can you invoke adb with absolute path? You can find absolute path with whereis adb . You can also check what echo $PATH from JAVA process builder returns in order to get same path as Java program.
