I need a way to communicate with an external tool which has a Command Line Interface from my Java application. Is there any handy tool/lib to make it less painful? Believe me, I’ve googled enough. Thank you!

I’ve ended up using the process handler (more specifically, the com.intellij.execution.process.OSProcessHandler) from Intellij IDEA platform API + writing my own small command-based framework where each command knowns how to execute itself (write) and parse the response from a process (read).
