Hi All,

I am building the MoteIF interface into a larger application, and noticed that there are about 50 calls to System.exit() throughout the TinyOS Java API.

While its understandable to restrict operation when a mote is not connected to the gateway host machine, calls to System.exit halt the entire java application.

So far, I have found the only way to get around this is to define a new SecurityManager to manage all calls to System.exit, although this is less than ideal. Is there any plans to implement exception management in place of these calls, so mote interface-related failures can be degraded gracefully? If not, would this be a worthwhile goal to extend the flexibility of the API?
