find parent process , or kill process subtree , or check whether a service is up and spawning processes – AntJavaDev Aug 04 '15 at 14:07

Tried all those methods, didn't work... – Maslor Aug 04 '15 at 14:12

go to process file location and move the .jar , or shift - delete it , or change JAVA_HOME dir – AntJavaDev Aug 04 '15 at 14:15

I already solved the problem by myself. I did change the JAVA_HOME environment variable, didn't work as well. The jar couldn't be moved as it was "being used by another program" – Maslor Aug 04 '15 at 14:19

Well, I managed to stop the infinite cycle. It's not a very formal way but worked. I tried to restart Windows, pressed "Force restart" when it listed processes that were still running and when I saw that javaw had been forcibly shutdown, I canceled the restart.
