I too have done a lot of research on this topic and can confirm that there
is, in fact, no way to get the process ID in a 100% java manner. After
much searching I began to realized that this makes sense as the notion of
a PID is outside the scope of the JVM and having that information wouldn't
allow you to do anything constructive without other system-dependencies.
