First launch java app B, and start your application A using B. Use Runtime.exec(String) or a ProcessBuilder to start A and store the returned Process object in a variable.

If you now want to kill the subprocess A created by B, use Process.destroy() or Process.destroyForcibly() (whatever fits better).
