public class sendMail

    public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException
    {
        String subject="password";
        String body="See%20it";
        String cc="[email protected]";

        try {

Another possible Solution using ProcessBuilder is:-

    try {
         new ProcessBuilder("Outlook.exe Path on Your System",
            "/m","Pass Parameters for mail like To, CC, BCC, Subject separated by &",
            "/a","mail attachment Path on Your System").start();
        } 
    catch ( Exception ex ) {
    }

For example :-

    try {
         new ProcessBuilder("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Office15\\OUTLOOK.EXE", 
           "/m","[email protected]&[email protected]&subject=testagain&body=testbody",
           "/a","D:\\sample.pdf").start();
        } 
    catch ( Exception ex ) {
    }
