Execute an external executable within the same process space in C++

I'm trying to find an easy way to execute a java vm in windows using a C++ wrapper. I can use CreateProcess() to launch java.exe directly with all of my parameters that I need to give it. The problem is this now shows up as two processes in process manager. So, if I kill the parent process, the java.exe instance still sticks around.

The reason I need to do this is开发者_运维技巧 that we have a few java programs, all of which will be running concurrently. I want to be able to give them distinguishable names in the process explorer, so that if a user has trouble with one of them, they don't have to guess which java.exe process that corresponds to.

You can replace java.exe with your own executable. This article from the Java Glossary discusses how java.exe works and where to find the source for it. It's possible that you could get by simply by copying and then renaming java.exe
