Thank you for the kind words...
Why not use the equivalent in PowerShell? For me, it is totally fine until the
plugin moved to Maven 4...
E.g.:
Process process = new ProcessBuilder(
"powershell",
"-NoProfile",
"-Command",
"Get-CimInstance Win32_Process -Filter \"ProcessId=" + pid +
"\" | Select-Object -Expand ParentProcessId")
WDYT?
