I need to start an app from another app with just one command on macOS. So, I can't use cd to get to the right path.
I just need to run the app with the full path like: /my/path/to/app/myapp -parameter1 1 -parameter2
Is this even possible on macOS? (I would like to avoid to install the app.)
So cd and then execute is not possible because of:

Just at the dot at the beggining of the multilevel path : ./my/path/to/app/myapp Dot refers to the current dir. Or you can use absolute path from the root of your disk without the dot like /Users/Me/my/path/to/app/myapp Or if it is a jar file (you mentioned that it is Java app) you can start it as java -jar /my/path/to/app/myapp
Do you want the app to contine running after the Java app closes or not.
If you want it to close the use the other answer https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/336994/237
If you want it to continue then run the app using open e.g.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("open path_to_app/App.app. null)
If the thing you want to call is not a App (ie not an App bundle) then just use the path to the executable.
If both apps are both Java why not build them into one app - or use Java's runtime loading.
