title: How to run arbitrary server software from Eclipse?
body: <p>I am developing a Flex-based game, and struggling with SmartFox Server. </p>
  
  <p>Anyway, it's a java-based server for Flash platform games, and it's kind of clunky to develop with on Windows. So, I want to be able to start it (and stop it) via Eclipse rather than the current batch file nastiness they provide. </p>
  
  <p>The problem is I've never done that with a non-standard server that didn't just have a server adaptor in Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>I know it should be pretty simple, but how do I do it? It's really just a matter of calling a command line executable with some arguments, or even just running it as a Java application without its executable shell. Killing it would just be a matter of killing the process in Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>Also of note is that I want to make sure I have the shell output in Eclipse for debugging purposes.</p>
