It feels like a dumb question to ask, but i cant seem to figure it out. when i run a *.jar file on windows it doesnt apears in the taskmanager processes. how can i terminate it
you could open jvisualvm to see the running java-processes. the process-id is displayed there. now open the task-manager go to the processes tab and add the process-id column to be displayed. now you can select the right java.exe or javaw.exe to kill
