Command line is prompting for password, cannot send password using java eclipse

Question

I have a program that i am running and it brings up the command prompt screen, i give it my arguments, but then it asks for a password. I send it a password but i get an error, thinking the password is part of the previous arguments, here is some of my code:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start cmd.exe /k \"" + CD + AND + Keytool + Genkey + Keyalg + Keysize + Alias + Validity + Keystore +  "/K && " + Password);

The error is "Illegal Option password"

Any Ideas?

I think i need to use a outputstreamwriter but I am not quite sure how.

Thanks

Don't you have to terminate the open quote?

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start cmd.exe /k \"" + CD + AND + Keytool + Genkey + Keyalg + Keysize + Alias + Validity + Keystore +  "/K \" && " + Password);

Or even after the password, maybe

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start cmd.exe /k \"" + CD + AND + Keytool + Genkey + Keyalg + Keysize + Alias + Validity + Keystore +  "/K && " + Password + "\"");

2. Enter the password when it tells you to
