This comes to mind:

  public InputStream runCleartoolCommand(String cmd) {

      Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
      return process.getInputStream();
    }
    else {
      return new FileInputStream(whichTestFile(cmd));
    }
  }

Then:

  InputStream is = runCleartoolCommand("cleartool co file.txt");

An alternative is to leave the Java application unchanged and instead
write a cleartool *script* that e.g. cats the file that corresponds to
the specific command:

  #!/bin/sh
  # cleartool test utility

  case "$1" in
  "co")
    cat cleartool_co.txt
    ;;

  "ci")
    cat cleartool_ci.txt
    ;;

  *)
    cat cleartool_default.txt
    ;;
  esac

You can make this as simple or as complex as you need, for example by
substituting the remaining cleartool arguments into the resulting
stream with sed, etc.
