Eclipse doesn't run in a virtual machine and doesn't start the virtual machine until you run your code. I think that when you run multiple instances of your code it runs them in separate virtual machines, so you should only see a java or javaw process when your code is running.

Try running code containing while(true){} and see if you can see the process then.

Netbeans and eclipse are started by Windows Launcher applications that are written possibly in C/C++ - they are not direct Java calls.

I can't speak for Netbeans, but Eclipse is started by eclipse.exe, which I can find easily in my Windows XP processes list in Task Manager.

It is probably wrapped by some other process, which creates the JVM programmatically. You can do this for your own application with Launch4J.
