A much more needed addition to the standard library in place of
Thread.stop() would be methods to acquire:
1) your own PID (this one is in planning for 1.8 or even has been
added already),
2) forked process PID (?),
3) a way to kill the forked process (and possibly its sub-tree).
We have JEP 102 to update Process. Some of the low hanging fruit, like
Process.destroyForcibly, went into jdk8 so they have been removed from
the JEP. There has been a number of attempts at adding support for
exposing the process-id. Implementation is trivial, the hard part has
always been consideration for environments where they may not be a 1-1
mapping. In any case, thanks for the comments and experiences on using
Thread.stop.
