Why TIMEOUT does not work if calling from a Java program

I have a Java program to call a batch file before it's shut down.
I want batch file to wait for Java program to exit first, then run it's staff inside. So I used TIMEOUT 5 as the first line of my batch file.

If I double click batch file to run it, it will wait 5 seconds first, and then start run the following code. But if I call it from the Java program: Runtime.getRuntime().exec("service.bat"); The batch file is not waiting 5 seconds. It's getting executed immediately.

Does anyone know why and how to write code to let batch file wait for a while?
