A process shows up for every thread. Killing the java that is the parent
process should take care of all the processes in the process table. I'm
not sure why each thread shows up in the Linux process table but my
guess is that is how they mapped threads in the VM port. I understand
IBM did a lot of work on the Linux threading model. There are three
models I'm aware of.
Process Thread
1 - 1
1 - many
many - many
This is at least how I remember a Solaris whitepaper on Java threading
models.
