I was wondering if anyone knew how to do the following:
Receive output from running a .jar from another java program.
(The command I run looks similar to this)
java -jar Loader.jar PluginHandler.jar Monitor Screen ...
etc.
Lets say in the PluginHandler
System.out.println("Hi");
was called, how do I receive that output from the Loader?
I need to be able to receive information from on .jar down to the next.
I have some of my program working, but not all of it.

java -jar Loader.jar || java -jar PluginHandler.jar Monitor Screen

java -jar Loader.jar ANYPLUGIN.jar ANOTHERPLUGIN.jar
The loader then loads any plugins that are passed then on after.
I need to then get the output stream of the plugin that runs.
I may try and add it to github and link it if that helps.
