Eclipse process launch

How can I get the process of a launched java application inside of a plugin? I am using: 

DebugUITools.launch();

to launch the application. I have tried to use: 

IProcess cur = DebugUITools.getCurrentProcess();

but it returns null at the beginning of the application launch.

Actually, my aim is to read from the console of the running application and by having the current process I tried to call: 

DebugUITools.getConsole(IProcess process);

which returns the console. The Q now is how to read from this console programmatically.

Instead of calling launch(), call buildAndLaunch(), which gives you the ILaunch back. You can ask the ILaunch for IProcess objects.
