Unable to kill javaw process on Win Server (without hard reboot)

The problem is in the subj. Javaw refuses to die. Tried: TM killing a process, TM killing a tree, kill.exe PID, taskkill - all fail. Blocks soft reboot. The only solution so far has been a hard kill (power down).

Any ideas how to deal with this? Especially if you're running a VM which you can't easily bounce from the VmWare console (due to limited access).

Running McAfee on that box. No malware found.
