I have a list of binaries written in Java, Ada, C, and Python and I want to execute them. How can I do that? Are there any JVM binding to those languages?

If all you want to do is execute existing applictions, you can use the exec methods from the java.io.runtime namespace.

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
