I’m developing an application that will run as a service. I have added a shutdown hook to the program to do some file cleanup. When I install the program as a service (on Linux as a daemon or as a Windows service) the shutdown hook executes correctly. However, when running in the IDE the shutdown hook is never executed. Is there a way to stop the running process in the IDE and have the shutdown hook execute?
Thanks,
Pablo
Unfortunately there is no way to do this within the current Netbeans system,since the kill methods for both types of app testing (Debug and Normal) both, well kill the process, giving it no chance to cleanup.
Depending on the architecture of your app you may be able to add a System.exit(0) call, but other than that you are stuck with opening it up in the console.
