I don't think so. How could you embed the VM in another program?
My initial understanding was that System.exit() shouldn't terminate
the process. But the experiments proved the opposite. AFAIU if you
want to embed the application then it should not call System.exit().
I don't see any problems to extend the proposal to the case of
System.exit() so that the process will not be stopped. But, do we want
such incompatibility with RI?
Because the RI is doing something really stupid?
It's supposed to just terminate the VM, right?
IBM-ers... what does J9 do, and why?
