how to import or clone repositories with java

Question

Hello everyone,
I'm asking a question because I need help
For my java project, I need to import a bitbucket project. I'm doing it now with:

Process proc=null;
Runtime r= Runtime.getRuntime();
 proc=r.exec("git clone https://MYACCOUNT:PWD@bitbucket.org/XXXX/XXX.git  XXX");

And it works!
but i would like to make sure the java client can import without having git already installed.
I searched on: https://developer.atlassian.com/bitbucket/api/2/reference/
and even on the net but I do not find how I could implement between bitbucket server and java client.

PLEASE can someone explain me how to communicate between my java program andbitbucket
thank you in advance

The Bitbucket server is storing the git repositories you are access, so you would need a git client to be able to clone.

However, if you are just trying to clone direct from java, you could look at this class - http://www.codeaffine.com/2015/11/30/jgit-clone-repository/

I've not tried using this, but it seems to match what you are attempting.
