Max,
You definitely don't need /othervm, since the test itself is talking
care to run the subprocess.
Generally, I like to use pb.redirectErrorStream(true) to merge stdout
and stderr, so that you are guaranteed that neither will fill up the
buffer and block for want of a reader.
There's lots of ways to write this sort of code; yours is as good as
any, but when the command line is of fixed length, I like to use
Arrays.asList() to minimize the boilerplate, and make it as much like a
command line as possible.
In the subprocess, you are relying on the JVM to set an exit code as a
result of your throwing the exception. You might want to replace line 78
with a more explicit call of System.exit(1); or similar.
