Description
**[Robert Scholte](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=rfscholte)** opened **[MSHARED-867](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHARED-867?redirect=false)** and commented
MSHARED-795 introduced a timeout for processes, but on Windows I can see Java processes staying alive, Maven Invoker just continues without forcing them to stop.

Research direction
Start by tracing the timeout handling introduced by MSHARED-795 and the Maven Invoker process lifecycle on Windows. Reproduce the reported case, then verify that a timed-out Java process no longer remains alive after invocation stops.
