One possible solution is to have a program that scans a given
directory (say, ~/.javaTriggers) which only that user has write access
to. Upon encountering a new trigger file in that directory, the main
programs executes one of the utilities. The trigger files contains
information about which utility to run and, possibly, with which
arguments.

Make a couple of bash aliases or shell scripts to easily create the
correct trigger files in the target directory.

Start the main program and keep it running in the background, and let
the user interact with it through the aliases / shell scripts.

If the utilities need to write output to stdOut, it gets a little
trickier, but you can finagle your way around that too.
