Abstract

The Java Process API allows developers to create and manage native processes. You can now use the java.lang.ProcessBuilder from JDK 5 to create processes and redirect the output and error streams. The new interface java.lang.ProcessHandle in Java 9 allows you to control the native processes created by ProcessBuilder.start().
