Using the System Diagnostics.Process in Calling NMaven, once the VS is
exited, by default on windows processes exists its child processes, and I
have confirmed this by exiting VS while running a maven build,
in this way, we won't need to keep communicating with the server just to
know if VS is still running, windows will handle the child process
termination automatically and cleanly
