I am making Eclipse plugin https://github.com/Nodeclipse/nodeclipse-1/tree/master/org.nodeclipse.enide.maven that run alternative build from within Eclipse
(e.g. for project that have both pom.xml and build.gradle do run with mvn package or gradle build)

But entry point for both of them are batch .bat files on Windows and bash on Linux.
For Windows running from Java would look like

    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start mvn");

but that will start new window, while I want it to see running in Eclipse Console.

There must be something like http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-exec/ but in Eclipse way I guess. How to run such script from Eclipse and see output in Console?
This is meant to be alternative and not dependent on m2e and Gradle Integration.
