Yes. Invoke the program using Process and grab the input / output / error stream of the process.(see an example here: http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0014.html)

I am having some problems with formatting, so here are some relevant links:

try Apache common-exec, it provides an api to invoke commands and capture the stderr, sdtout and provide an stdin.
