To get a stream dump using only the JRE, you need tools.jar and attach.dll from the JDK of the same version of Java. Install it somewhere and copy them into jre. There must be an identical version!
If you need a dump of a process running under a system account, you can use sysinternals Windows psexec.exe to access the process. Copy this to a JRE box or somewhere along the way.
This batch file writes a dump of the stack to a file with the file name datetime, so you can easily and easily compare multiple traces.

::Required the following files to be placed in the jre/bin folder:
:: attach.dll - From the Java JDK (must be the same version)
:: tools.jar - ditto
:: psexec.exe - from Windows sysinternals
::cd to jre/bin
