Java进程线程问题

Question

我的问题涉及进程和运行时，并尝试运行它，同时允许主 Java Swing GUI 更新状态栏，所以这里是：

过去三个月我一直在为我的软件开发小组开发内部开发工具。基本原理是它根据用户的输入接受 GUI 定义的一些变量。然后，它将它们编译成批处理文件以供命令行工具解释。一旦你点击“补丁”按钮，让 GUI 运行命令行就相当有趣了，但是我无法读取执行过程中可能出现的任何错误，这在很大程度上是因为我正在使用runtimeVar.exec() 的参数中的“start”。我找到了一个常驻 Java 人员来帮助我，但它从将进程分叉到另一个线程切换到在同一线程中运行该进程，从而阻止 GUI 响应其他任何内容。虽然该工具运行完美，但 Beta 测试人员却在抱怨，因为他们不知道它是否有效。

长话短说：我需要将 runtimeVar.exec() 分叉到另一个进程，以便允许状态栏更新，但这样做将需要一些重大的返工，因为这就是我的代码当前的样子

    private void runPatchTool(File directory, String batchName) throws Exception{
    /*************************************************************************** 
     * Method: runPatchTool
     * Tab: Both

    String tempOFP = null;
    Boolean labType = false;
    String tmpCountry = null;

    int yesNo;
    String s = " ";
    String er = " ";
    String[] query = new String[]{"cmd.exe","/c",directory.getPath() + "\\" + batchName};
//    displayStatus("Running Patch_tool.exe . . . ");    
    ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(query);
    pb.directory(directory);
    try{
        Process proc = pb.start();
        InputStreamReader inStrmRd = new InputStreamReader(proc.getInputStream());
        InputStreamReader erStrmRd = new InputStreamReader(proc.getErrorStream());
        BufferedReader commandResult = new BufferedReader(inStrmRd);
        BufferedReader errResult = new BufferedReader(erStrmRd);
        String line = " ";
        String erLine = " ";
        try {
            while ((line = commandResult.readLine()) != null) {
                s += line + "\n";
            }
            while((erLine = errResult.readLine()) != null){
                er += erLine + "\n";
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Path Tool Error: " + e, "ERROR", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
        }
//        readOutputFiles();
    } catch(IOException e){
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Path Tool Error: " + e, "ERROR", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
    }
    StringBuffer erMsg = new StringBuffer("at least one assembler error has occurred");
    CharSequence erMsgSeq = erMsg;
    try{
        PrintWriter outputFile = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(directory.getPath() + "\\cmdout.txt"));
        outputFile.print(s);
        outputFile.close();
        PrintWriter erFile = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(directory.getPath() + "\\errout.txt"));
        erFile.print(er);
        erFile.close();
    } catch(Exception ex){
        System.out.println("Something happened in PrintWriter: " + ex);
    }
    }

：是我省略的更多代码，但它与当前的具体问题无关。

好吧，话虽如此，有没有一种方法可以在不阻塞 GUI 的情况下运行此进程，并在执行下一步之前等待进程结束（使用回调或其他方法）？
