Answer 1

For pre Java 8 code, I'm using reflection with a fallback to catching IllegalThreadStateException. The reflection will only work on instances of ProcessImpl, but as that's what's returned by ProcessBuilder it's usually the case for me.

    public static boolean isProcessIsAlive(@Nullable Process process) {
    if (process == null) {
        return false;
    }
    // XXX replace with Process.isAlive() in Java 8
    try {
        Field field;
        field = process.getClass().getDeclaredField("handle");
        field.setAccessible(true);
        long handle = (long) field.get(process);
        field = process.getClass().getDeclaredField("STILL_ACTIVE");
        field.setAccessible(true);
        int stillActive = (int) field.get(process);
        Method method;
        method = process.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("getExitCodeProcess", long.class);
        method.setAccessible(true);
        int exitCode = (int) method.invoke(process, handle);
        return exitCode == stillActive;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // Reflection failed, use the backup solution
    }
    try {
        process.exitValue();
        return false;
    } catch (IllegalThreadStateException e) {
        return true;
    }
}
