Hi Alexandre,

building on top of Klaus answer:
If you want to manage VirtualBox on Windows, you currently need to use 
the Web Services binding.

For the purpose of my Hyperbox project, I've put together a piece of 
code you can easily work with to manage the Web Services server, start 
it for your application and stop it afterwards, removing any pre-run 
configuration/commands:
https://github.com/hyperbox/vbox-common/blob/master/src/core/src/io/kamax/vbox/_VBoxWebSrv.java
https://github.com/hyperbox/vbox-common/blob/master/src/server/core/src/io/kamax/vbox/VBoxWebSrv.java

It uses the zeroturnaround exec library 
<https://github.com/zeroturnaround/zt-exec> for process management, so 
you'll need that too.

Other requirements that you can swap for your own management code 
(logger, exception):
https://github.com/hyperbox/api/blob/master/src/core/src/io/kamax/hbox/exception/HyperboxException.java
https://github.com/hyperbox/api/blob/master/src/tools/src/io/kamax/net/NetUtil.java
https://github.com/hyperbox/api/blob/master/src/tools/src/io/kamax/tool/logging/Logger.java
https://github.com/hyperbox/api/blob/master/src/tools/src/io/kamax/tool/logging/LogLevel.java

Hope it will be useful to you!

Max
