I need to send commands to the windows CMD or linux terminal from an Eclipse wizard. Not my first choice but I’m not the architect so just following orders. Is there a way to send a command to the CMD and/or Terminal?

For an example, we’ll be doing:

mvn -create $projectName $location

where we replace the project name and location with values from the wizard. Yes I know there is an mvn plug-in, I have a specific reason for needing this (or at least my boss does). Suggestions?

Also, I do NOT need a plug-in that allows you to type to the CMD or Terminal from Eclipse. Thanks

    If you do this in a separate thread – e.g. a new Job – then you can just use the existing java.lang.Runtime.exec(...) mechanism…

    If you want to follow the execution as well in a console within IDE, then have a look at org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.views.console.ProcessConsole or one of its super-classes.
