I don't think it works.  The problem is we don't have a good 
replacement.  IE, a reliable, cross-platform way to manage and kill 
processes from java. Does any exist which doesn't require native code?  
My google search says no.  So unless someone beats me over the head with 
an alternative, we'll keep calling process.destroy in vain.

But the real intent of JBAS-2235 is to fail the build upon server 
shutdown failure which is not affected by the above discussion.  I'll 
find someone to do it or <sigh> do it myself.
