I have a running java process in a standard windows command window. ie i have run ‘cmd’ and typed in java -jar …

I need to be able to get a full stack dump of all threads if at all possible.

i remember that under linux you can send a message to the JVM via an option on the quit command.

in this document sun state

To generate a stack trace on Windows
95, or Windows NT platforms, enter the
key sequence in the
window where the Java program is
running, or click the Close button on
the window.

this is clearly wrong, as closing the terminal does nothing but kill the process and close the window.

    Typing Ctrl+Break is the correct way to generate a thread dump on Windows.

    Are you pressing Ctrl+C (=interrupt) maybe? That will send a SIGINT, which will generally kill your process.
