Manage Processes in Java VM (Process Monitor, Firewall)

Question

Hey there.
I asked myself today if there is a possibility to have a task-manager for the java vm (since windows task-manager shows only javaw.exe) and a VM-Firewall (since a common firewall only sees "any java programms wants to establish a connection"
thank you

Actually, you comments aren't necessarily unclear. They are more incomplete. You didn't really provide too much details as to what you are trying to do or experiencing. Genrally speaking, most firewalls will allow you to not only monitor and block/permit by application executible name, but also by the port used to make the exchange, the content type, and numerous other attributes. So if you have multiple java applications, but want to allow or restrict one in particular, simply block by a specific port or set of ports or one of the other attributes supported by your particular firewall.
As a simply example, take a look at the Windows Firewall for XP. Notice that you can define the app, the port, and protocol
