Kristian Rosenvold commented on MSHARED-295:
--------------------------------------------
And selenium uses JNA on windows and also shells to kill on linux. Killing
firefox cross platform turns out to be one of the hardest problems in computer
science. That stuff about P and NP is just kids stuff compared.
> Non reliable killing of processes by CommandLineUtils
> -----------------------------------------------------

> Key: MSHARED-295
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHARED-295
> Project: Maven Shared Components
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: maven-shared-utils
> Reporter: Andrey Klochkov
>
> CommandLineUtils is used in Maven-Surefire to start forks which execute
> tests. It is a well known issue that sometimes child processes are not killed
> correctly. This is a known limitation of JVM, and the only reliable way to
> implement it would be platform specific.
> Bug report in Surefire JIRA:
> http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-773
> JVM bug report. It's Windows specific, but the problem exists on Linux and
> OSX as well.
> http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4770092
> I'm proposing either 1) to implement several platform specific
> implementations of ProcessHook or 2) to make the mechanism of killing
> processes extendable for clients of the library.
