Raising the Java platform requirement is worth discussing on the mailing list, I'll start a thread. I discuss raising it to the next LTS level: Java 11.

>             Project: Commons Exec
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
>            Reporter: Wolff Bock von Wuelfingen
>            Priority: Major

> While searching for something completely different related to Commons Exec, i found this:
> [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35601924/java-apache-commons-exec-watchdog-and-windows-cmd-exe-issues]
> The answer there uses `Process.descendants()` to also kill the child processes. That method was added with Java 9.
> Since this problem is important enough to be one of the five [FAQ questions|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-exec/faq.html], i think it might be a good idea to raise the minimum Java version of Commons Exec and use the `descendants()` method to fix that problem.
