gwtSuperDev don't stop

[frami]

I run the gwtSuperDev in Eclipse as 'External tool'. When I stop it, the java process with the gwtSuperDev is stil running in the background. After I have to stop it with the Taskmanager.

Same issue with the Maven plugin, or even standard GWT compilation with the GPE. The problem is Eclipse force-kills the process, bypassing any hook that would let it clean up after itself: temporary files, forked processes, etc.

From my PoV this is an Eclipse bug, and there's nothing tools can do to workaround it.

Thank you the explanation. You are right, with maven I have the same behaviour.
