How can we stop a running java process through Windows cmd

Question

I am a newbie in cmd  so please allow me to ask a stupid question  How can we stop a running Java process through Windows cmd   For example  if we start Jetty  a mini web server  with the following command   start javaw -jar start jar   How do we find the process and stop it later   Obviously the following command does not work   stop javaw -jar start jar

It is rather messy but you need to do something like the following:

START "do something window" dir
FOR /F "tokens=2" %I in ('TASKLIST /NH /FI "WINDOWTITLE eq do something window"' ) DO SET PID=%I
ECHO %PID%
TASKKILL /PID %PID%

Found this on this page.

(This kind of thing is much easier if you have a UNIX / LINUX system ... or if you run Cygwin or similar on Windows.)

Normally I don t have that many Java processes open so  taskkill  im javaw exe   or  taskkill  im java exe   should suffice  This will kill all instances of Java  though

When I ran taskkill to stop the javaw exe process it would say it had terminated but remained running  The jqs process  java qucikstart  needs to be stopped also  Running this batch file took care of the issue   taskkill  f  im jqs exe taskkill  f  im javaw exe taskkill  f  im java exe
