Process Tree Killer for Java, extracted from Jenkins (commit 9c443c8d5bafd63fce574f6d0cf400cd8fe1f124)
The trick that is used to kill a process including its children is to tag them using an environment variable.
## Usage
```java
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("sleep", "10000");
pb.environment().put("PTK_COOKIE", "killme");
Process process = pb.start();
ProcessTree.get().killAll(singletonMap("PTK_COOKIE", "killme"));
```
