Problem description

I am developing a plugin which needs to spawn another process. The process output should be displayed in a standard tool window, much like the application servers' output windows, or via standard Java processes when clicking "Run".

How does one go about this? I've noticed I can create my own UI for the tool window, and register it via ToolWindowManager? - but since intellij already has such windows ready - I thought maybe there is a standard way of doing that. Or is there?
