Hmm, I have one guess. Perhaps it's because there is no "following
code"? Executing no code generally produces no results. :)

It "causes the current thread to wait, if necessary, until the process
represented by this Process object has terminated." Quote is from the
API specification; also known as the API documentation or (less
correctly) Javadocs. You do have that, right?

I found this article very helpful in understanding what you need to do to
execute operating system commands from Java:
