How does 'jps' identify all the JVMs on the current host?

Hi,

What maechanism does jps use to find JVM's running on the local host?

Is the source to jps available?

Thanks,
John

The fact that they don't support JPS for Win98/WinME hints it is very
platform specific code. Poke around in the C++ Windows library for a
way to get a list of applications/tasks running.
