Answer 1

Finally got something workable even though its a roundabout way.

Apache Commons Exec API contains the CommandLauncher class that returns a java.lang.Process object. Thanks to the link

Here the link to get the windows Process Id from a java.lang.Process. This uses the JNA libraries.

Finally with the Process Id, here the command string that kills the process tree //String killCmd = "taskkill /F /T /PID " + JNAHandler.getPid(process);
