getProcessID
public static int getProcessID()
- Returns the process ID of the current process.
Implementation Note: The Java platform does not at present
have a method for getting the process ID of the current process. To avoid
having to write a platform-dependent native method, class Platform takes
a snapshot of the system clock when the process starts up and uses the
low-order 31 bits of that as the "process ID." The likelihood is small
that two processes on the same device will get the same process ID in
this way.
