Hi Jody,
processing means WPS to me, not output format. You are referring to the
logic used to call
an external executable I suppose?

GRASS is a bit complicated in that respect, it requires some work to setup
the right environemt
also in terms of directories and so on (the location and mapset), unless
things have been simplified quite
a bit since I last looked.
Checking the 52 North integration, it still seems to be more than just
"call an external executable
with some command line options", although I cannot say I recognize this
from my past experiences,
it seems they are using some python command line intermediary:
https://github.com/52North/WPS/tree/dev/52n-wps-grass/src/main/java/org/n52/wps/server/grass

Going back to calling executables, Stefano's work builds on top of the
existing OGR module, recently
I added the ability to call gdal_translate in importer, and I've setup a
generic command line
transformation, but used a different library, which has been suggested by
some colleagues of mine
since it supports timeouts:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/extension/importer/core/src/main/java/org/geoserver/importer/transform/AbstractCommandLineTransform.java

Maybe code extracted from it could be a better base for a generic command
line calling
tool

Cheers
Andrea
