Hi all, I want to ask for your opinion about adding *getPID *method in MavenSession.
With Michael Osipov we talked about ensuring PID observed from Maven process. We need to read PID of Maven process within Surefire plugin. We have several alternatives however only Java 9 introduced standard API providing the PID. For me it would be fine to get the PID from MavenSession rather than discovering it in an individual Maven plugin since it is Maven's information and all plugins may read it too. For Java < 9 the JNA call can read PID. We found sources at Hudson which may help us https://github.com/hudson3-plugins/jna-native-support-plugin As a standard Java way we can call Java 9 Jigsaw code: long pid = ProcessHandle.current().pid(); Linux standard way is to read the link on file system String pid = new File("/proc/self").getCanonicalFile().getName() Non-standard simplistic way String pid = ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getName().split("@")[0] Bad fact on JMX is the startup cca 50 - 80 milliseconds. -- Cheers Tibor
