You are only reading the standard output of the GUI program itself. If you want to read the output from the processes you create using Runtime.getRuntime().exec
then you need to capture the output of those processes and append it to the text area.

You would probably be better off using ProcessBuilder rather than Runtime.getRuntime().exec.
