you can run a taskkill

taskkill /f /im javaw.exe
or
taskkill /f /im java.exe

I think this one is more efficient:

wmic process where "name like '%java%'" delete

For specific application:

FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims= " %%G IN ('jps -l') DO IF %%H=myMainclass taskkill /F /PID %%G

//myMainClass stands for your application's main class

Actually start names the window not the process, but taskkill can filter on that slightly less conveniently taskkill /f /fi "windowtitle eq dharsha"
