Hi Thomas,

Don't ask me why, but for some reason this mail just landed in my client now. (this happens a lot on this mailing list for some reason)

getPid() is still on the todo list at the moment. Once I clear my plate a little I'll follow up on it.

I'm sorry if I missed this, but I can't seem to find any information about what happened to the RFE "provide process ID" [1]. This umbrella bug report/RFE is marked as 'fixed', but I can't see that the "getPid" part is included in the current build of JDK8 (build 62).

The "process destroy/getPid" RFE was previously listed under JDK8 features, but now it's gone.[2] And I can't find any information about "getPid()" being dropped from JDK8 either. In his review request for the "System.killProcess" part of this RFE, Rob McKenna wrote: "As per the bug report the toString/pid work has been left to be completed separately."[3] What happened to "System/Process.getPid()" ? Is anyone actively working on adding this to JDK8 ?
