Runtime.exec child Process not separate? [message #12408]

Here is my code:

import java.io.IOException;

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("test begin");
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
try {
String[] cmdArray = new String[]{
"cmd", "/c", "start \"Test Console\" echo Hello"
};
Process p = rt.exec(cmdArray);
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("exception caught: "+e);
}
System.out.println("test end");
}
}

When I run this simple application from inside Eclipse, the application's
life span is at most 2 seconds. The problem is that the Eclipse debugger
thinks my application is still running until I close the command console.
The command console was launched as a separate process and should not even
have any hooks into the JVM. If you are on Windows you can try this and see
what I'm talking about. This is causing me serious grief. When I use
Runtime.exec I expect to start a completely separate process. How and why
does Eclipse even know about this process?
