[news.eclipse.platform] running an external process

[Lorenzo Bettini <bettini@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I hope this is the right newsgroup to ask this question;

I need to run an external program from an eclipse plugin I'm working on.
Can I use the standard Java API (Process, etc.) or are there any 
specific API from eclipse?

Thanks in advance
	Lorenzo

P.S. of course any link to examples on line are welcome :-)
