batchfiles eclipse main application external tools

Question

I am working with Lejos and java Eclipse on Windows 7. As my machine is 64 bit it will not allow me run the standard Lejos driver as an Eclipse plugin I installed it as an external tool . I followed this super helpfull tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEFA0DdFhm8 However for my project I need to be able to regularly send instructions to my Nxt brick. is there anyway that I can call external tools from the main application while it is running ??Alternatively is it possible to call batch files in main programs or even make command line arguments while a program is running ??? I have read allot of forums on this and no where have I found the solution to my problem, if people have any Idea I would appreciate the help,

Thanks.
