Getting the Process id of Tomcat running in Eclipse on Windows

I need to create a thread dump of the JVM running the Tomcat server from inside Eclipse on a Windows 7 machine. From the Task Manager I am not able to differentiate between the java.exe and javaw.exe. I am not sure which one is running Tomcat.

Solution

  • Posting the answer from the one posted in another thread:

    java.exe is the console app while javaw.exe is windows app (console-less). You can't have Console with javaw.exe.
