JVM shut down ala Eclipse or Jbuilder

[Sambucus]

Hi all,
anyone who knows how to force a running jvm to shut down like Eclipse
or Jbuilder does when you press their little stop button?

I have this problem with some sockets refusing to shut down (I guess
it is because they are blocking for input). When I run my app from
eclipse and use a normal System.exit(); or
Runtime.getRuntime().halt(0); the app refuses to shut down, however,
if I press eclipses stop/shutdown button it imideatly shuts down the
jmv and all sockets. I would like to know if there is some way to
implement this from within my app?

Any help much appritiated!

Ehh, yes of course, but that will not work for me I'm afraid.
I dont know if eclipse/jbuilder uses a native call to end the jvm
process? In that case it would be the same as using the task manager,
but can you implement that into a Java app?

Try Runtime.exit() -- "terminates the currently running Java virtual
machine by initiating its shutdown sequence".

Try Runtime.exit() -- "terminates the currently running Java virtual
machine by initiating its shutdown sequence".

Which, according to the JavaDocs "The System.exit method is
the conventional and convenient means of invoking this method"

The OP mentioned earlier that invoking System.exit() was (amongst)
the current way of doing things.
