[FIXED] Get the PID for a process started by Eclipse

Issue

I started a java program in debug mode in eclipse and now I need the PID of its process in order to generate a Jmap snapshot. I tried with:

ps aux | grep 'eclipse'
ps aux | grep 'myServerName'

but no chance to find that PID.

Solution

if you have java/bin in your path then you can use java ps tool: jps -l

Output: 17623 com.intellij.idea.Main 29003 sun.tools.jps.Jps

The first column is process id.
