4770092: (process) Process.destroy does not kill multiple child processes

[iris clark]

Hi, Alistair.

Thanks for volunteering to provide a patch for this popular bug:

  4770092 (process) Process.destroy does not kill multiple child
    processe

Process is owned by core libraries, so you'll find all the interested
parties and experts on core-libs-dev at openjdk.java.net.  I suggest
further discussion be moved to that list.  I've fowarded this message
there.

Thanks,
iris

> I'd like to fix bug 4770092, and I believe that this is possible on Windows 2000 and above using Job objects - I have fixed a similar bug previously in STLplus 3. I notice that JDK 6 ceased support for Windows 98 and ME, which simplifies the work as the Job concept is applicable to all supported Windows versions. I have read the guide at http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/ and so I would like to ask if anyone has any comments to make before I produce a patch.
