Right now, that is the only way to control Condor from Java.

Internally, we have been working on a SOAP interface to Condor. I don't 
have an estimate when the SOAP interface will be done--it may be a while, 
since we have some higher priority projects right now. When it is done, it 
will be a good way to control Condor from Java.
