Cannot track status of Remote Poller Windows service

Won't Fix

Description

The Remote Poller Windows service is currently implemented as a Commons Daemon launcher that starts javaws.exe in exe mode. Unfortunately, javaws.exe launches the actual JNLP application in a subprocess and then exits making it impossible to track the PID and making it seem like the service is always Stopped.

To work around this, we need to figure out how to monitor the actual PID of the JNLP application (which is launched using jp2launcher.exe).

Note that normally you can use the -wait option to prevent javaws.exe from exiting but this option doesn't work on Windows. :-/
