Hi! I am creating a plugin for IDEA that requires calling a method from a java class and reading the response from this method. How can I implement this without calling an external program, i.e. without using GeneralCommandLine and without JavaCommandLine, which requires specifying the path to the jdk? Since I am already inside JVM, I would like to simply transfer execution to a separate thread, for example via new Thread. Is this even possible?
