You would start a thread to read the data out of the InputStream (which 
you need to do anyway to make a Process work as expected). The thread 
reading the data could send an event anywhere.  If you are updating a UI 
thread, I suggest the following approach:

ProgressTrackerThread.run() will read from InputStream, and when newline 
happens, call "progressUpdated" on a list of Listeners.

Create an abstract EventQueueProgressListener implementation. 
progressUpdated in this impl will be final, and will pass a Runnable to 
the EventQueue, which then calls a different abstract method 
(handleProgressUpdated maybe?).  That way, you're thread-safe on the EDT 
for UI updates.
