I dont' really have a good answer here. I suppose that is one option

interested in similar issues.
The framework is cruel, cruel, cruel. It will refuse to load plug-ins
that try and do work during construction for example (it times them and
kills the tread if you take too long).
I imagine it does the same thing on shutdown: I would not be surprised
if waiting does not help.
I assume you are doing something like IO during shutdown, or cleaning up
after a heavy UI Widget (Java3D?).
The basic plugin docs do have an IO example:
-

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wsphelp/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/core/runtime/Plugin.html#shutdown()
Yep it will terminate if you try and do any work :-( What resources are
you trying to hold? Is there a chance you could associate them with your
view and/or editor instead? I belive that dispose() is granted a bit
more time. This does fall into the evil hack category...

Hi,
I have a few threads running that haved to be stopped cleanly at
shutdown.
They execute infinite loop that I break on MyPlugin.stop().
My problem is that they need some time to stop cleanly and that the
framework doesn't let them this time.
Is there a good practice to ensure that the framework will wait for
my threads ?
My first idea is to wait in the MyPlugin.stop() method until the end
of the last thread. Is it a good idea ?
