For Node.js based tools we needed a fully configured PATH because it is
often the case those tools will make calls to other apps.
Basically our strategy is to start a full bash/cmd shell (notice -l for
bash) which will be configured fully. [1]
then execute the commands [2]
finally issue an exit to leave the shell [3]
The only downside is you can not easily capture the process exit code.
The code examples are from the initial implementation that I have done for
CordovaCLI and uses eclipse libraries for starting the process however it
can be implemented equally same using the Runtime.exec too. [4]

Hey Guys:
Can you clarify how you guys call filesystem commands like npm and
cordova?
In the CDK tools as currently coded, we do two different things. One, is
that we create an "External Tools Launch Configuration" which runs the
command. This requires knowing the actual location of the executable. The
other is to simply call Runtime.exec(etc) and get a Process from it.
The external tools launch config is useful because it opens a console for
us and means we don't have to do any of the wiring, so we use that when we
know we want the commands to be visible to the user. We use the
runtime.exec() in the background for commands that we want to run without
showing the user (for example if we did a vagrant adbinfo)
How do you all do it?

im wondering if we are better of launching this similar to what @gercan
<
https://github.com/gercan> and @ibuziuk <

been doing for npm and cordova cli tools.
i.e. call out via bash or cmd.exe making it up to the user to have it
properly configured in PATH
