====================================
    Yes your trick works. I think it doesn't kill the eclipse because
eclipse in the task manager appears as eclipse.exe and is running javaw.exe
rather than java.exe which the hack is killing.

Which is preciseky why we created the Eclipse plugin. Your proposed 
method is dangerous.

This is becoming an increasingly common request on this list. After the 
0.7 release I will create a release for the plugin and make it available 
via the Eclipse upgrade mechanism.

Ah, right. Thanks for explaining that. It means that one needs to be
careful as you might kill other java-based software nevertheless.
