Would be nice to have some kind of "async" process I/O streaming. And an event mechanism to receive notifications when the process terminates or input is available from stdout/stderr.

Hi,

I'm starting to work on JEP 102, Process API Updates for JDK 9. Are there use cases for which this is insufficient? Please comment. What about a non-blocking waitFor mechanism such as void onTerminate(IntConsumer consumer) or CompletionStage onTerminate(); Would be useful for spawning many small processes. Also a waitFor method taking a timeout parameter. So you, for example, can wait for the subprocess to exit within 10 seconds. And if not kill it. - Kasper
