Forking a java process is a taxing approach. It could cause problems if you have a spike in volume of calls to this subsystem as each JRE (one per call) will eat up memory, cpu cycles, file handles, etc. If your Remedy server is running on Unix or Linux, you can use logger(1). If you wrapped that code in a java plugin it would be much more efficient.
If the program takes much time at all to return and you are calling through a set fields run process, it could eat up all your fast or list threads, depending on which forks the process. A Run Process action would alleviate this condition.
