i would like to create an internal control for a gui that mimicks the
os's command prompt, input is easy enough ( sending it to the system)
but how can I obtain the output generated by that input?

Do you mean you want to execute programs from within that console and
catch their output?

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdarrray) returns a Process which
has a getInputStream method.
