How do I run command line from Java code in the background?

I have the following line to run a batch file,

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start rake.bat");

But I want it to run in the background and not display the command line to the user. How can I change it to do this?

The problem is that the command window opens and intrupts the programs GUI. I just want the command window to not be visible while it is executing the batch file.
