Using java in one process, how can we create another process that is an exact copy of the parent?
You can’t do that using pure Java. In the C world you’d simply use the
fork()system call, but Java has no direct support for this.You might be able to call
fork()from some JNI code (or using JNA), but I doubt that your average JVM implementation is built to handle that gracefully.
