Hi, Are you able to clarify what you are trying to do? The following command will start Burp (the latest versions of Burp do not support running with Java 8 so you might need to upgrade your Java version): Start-Process "`"<locationOfJava>`"" -ArgumentList "-jar","-Xmx1G","`"C:\Program Files\BurpSuiteCommunity\burpsuite_community.jar`"" It is also worth pointing out that the REST API jar file you are trying to use is actually produced by a third party. Burp contains its own internal REST API and you can find details of this in the User options -> Misc -> REST API tab in Burp itself.
