Uses it parent process for standard IO thru 3 streams

You can use these method to get I/O/E of the process created by Runtime class. The process created by Runtime doesn't have its own console. So, using these method I/O/E are redirected to parent process.
Process.getOutputStream()
Process.getInputStream()
Process.getErrorStream()
