I would guess the 'open' command would do what you want, you might want to 'man' that in Terminal for usage. 

Thanks, that works to launch the default application.

Do you also know, what's wrong with the following code snippet:

 Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {
   "/Applications/Preview.app/Contents/MacOS/Preview",
   "/Users/tom/test.png"
 });


I think there's usage for specifying other than the default application.
Not sure why that doesn't work. It doesn't open the document command line from Terminal either, probably different in how this application launches or handles it's open document AppleEvent? TextEdit command line launched with a text file will open the document.
