Unlike scripting language, Java is a compiled language and therefore piping feature you want in Java is via the Java SDK API. Please see below sample.

Code:

try {
  String cmdString = "<put the command you want to read it's output from here>";
  Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
  Process child = r.exec(cmdString);           
  InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(child.getInputStream());
  BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
  String line = null;
  while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null) System.out.println(line);
  int res = child.waitFor();           
} catch (InterruptedException ie) {
  System.out.println(ie.getMessage());
} catch (IOException ioe) {
  System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());
}

As an alternative to trying to manipulate specific applications you can use the built in features of Java to copy specified text to the system clipboard which can then be pasted wherever you like.
