Hello to the forum members,

I have a JNI code which needs to be called from the main thread when my plugin stops and Eclipse closes. Following this topic:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/1730393/#msg_1730393

I understand that I cannot be sure that the thread running the stop method of my plugin would be the main thread. It was true before Eclipse 4.2.2, not anymore.

I saw that the API IWorkbenchListener.postShutdown is being called from the main thread. Is it always being called from the main thread ? Any scenarios where this is not true ?

As you can see in the linked topic above, trying to use Display.getDefault().syncExec or Display.getDefault().asyncExec to solve this issue did not work.

Thanks in advance,
Gidi
