Testing shutdown handlers in IDEA

Yes, we made an attempt to support shutdown hooks in IDEA. But there
appeared so many problems with it, that we recently dropped this feature.
(In short to make hooks work we have the process to terminate itself and not
do it externally using Process.destroy. However this is not always
possible:(( )

Hi All,

The idea is that, when the JVM starts to shut down, this thread

(shutdownThread) will be started. For a command-line app, this includes the
JVM shutting down in response to a CTRL-C interrupt, as well as a terminal
Exception.

The question is: how do I emulate this when I am running the app within

IDEA? Hitting CTRL-C has no effect. Can't find anything about this in the
help files.

Any answers, anyone?
Many thanks,

Hi Evgueny,

That's a shame. Thanks for the quick reply, though.

Cheers,
