WHY would you be wanting to start WIndows Calculator on the CF server? It
makes no sense: it's a desktop application, not a server application.

What are you trying to achieve?

well you won't get far w/GUI apps or ones that expect input from the console.

And it's a *command line* Java application? Does it not have an API?

What happens when you go:

<cfexecute name="/path/to/java.exe" arguments="/path/to/your/app other args
here">

Bear in mind that the system a/c that CF uses bt default has very few
permissions, so you might need to check it can see the various files needed
to execute the app.
