Hello,

You could invoke the corresponding engine from Java on your source file 
as a OS process call and handle the result. I'd suggest using 
ProcessBuilder (which is available since Java 5) in order to build and 
run a process call:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html

Another option is to use a wrapper library such as Commons Exec, which 
uses ProcessBuilder under the hood, but with a more intuitive interface:

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-exec/

All the best!

Paulo
