Usually when executing commands using ProcessBuilder, PATH variable is not taken into consideration. Your python C:/Machine_Learning/Text_Analysis/Ontology_based.py is directly working in your CMD shell because it can locate the python executable using the PATH variable. Please provide the absolute path to python command in your Java code. In below code replace <Absolute Path to Python> with the path to python command and its libraries. Usually it will something like C:\Python27\python in Windows by default
package text_clustering;
import java.io.*;
public class Similarity {
/**
*
* @param args
*
*/
public static void main(String[] args){
try{
String pythonPath = "C:/Machine_Learning/Text_Analysis/Ontology_based.py";
//String pythonExe = "C:/Users/AppData/Local/Continuum/Anaconda/python.exe";
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(Arrays.asList("<Absolute Path to Python>/python", pythonPath));
Process p = pb.start();
BufferedReader bfr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = "";
System.out.println("Running Python starts: " + line);
int exitCode = p.waitFor();
System.out.println("Exit Code : "+exitCode);
line = bfr.readLine();
System.out.println("First Line: " + line);
while ((line = bfr.readLine()) != null){
System.out.println("Python Output: " + line);
}
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
}
}

Reading from stdin returns null when the script is killed/dies. Do a Process#waitFor and see what the exitValue is. If it isn't 0 then it's highly probable that your script is dying.
I'd try making it work with a dumb script that only writes a value. Make sure that you print all error information from python.
I'm a python dev, like I know literally no Java. But because I'm experienced in python I can at least kinda understand what I'm doing in Java. But I'm stuck on this. I know it's basic shit, I can do this in python, but I just can't read the language so I can't read any help or guides either.
All I need to do really is start a python program from Java as a subprocess, receive it's output stream and be able to send to its input stream.
The python program is a discord bot using async/await stuff and will run continuously so it needs to be uninterrupted, like if it was run from the terminal EXCEPT the Java program can send input and receive output.
I also suck att processes and stuff (this is on Windows btw) and as I said I suck at Java too so sorry if I gave to little information or something. Just tell me if that's the case.
Thanks in advance :D
