how to terminate an ILaunch (or IProcess) programmatically [message #332479]

Hi, all

Here I want to terminate an ILaunch programmatically, what can I do?

In fact I want to terminate a java process started by its parent java
process, that says, in my code below:

Process newProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -cp ....");

here I want to terminate the subprocess "newProcess", I invoked
newProcess.destroy(), the sub java process still alive!

As I think that eclipse can terminate a java application via clicking the
terminate button on console view, so there must be some tricks!

Anybody can help me?

Thanks & Best Regards!
Nick

From what I understand, Debug invokes destroy() tries to call
exitValue() a couple of times to wait for it to die.
