Hi Eric,
  I did check the libvirt Java bindings, but I did not find any way to access the console through the Java API. Is anybody aware of how this can be done using the Java API?

Why not just directly use the Java bindings from libvirt-java to access
the console directly from your Java program, instead of trying to spawn
a third-party application to do it on your behalf?  Alas, I'm not
familiar enough with the Java bindings to know how easy or hard this may be.
