Start reading from the top of the page:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html

The first bullet points explains, that on some operating systems (e.g.
Windows), a valid command exist of exactly two Strings.

The constructor of ProcessBuilder on the other hand states that it does
not check whether the provided list of strings is a valid command.
