I dont' really have a good answer here. I suppose that is one option you have. Let me know if you come up with a better solution. I'm 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/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/core/runtime/Plugin.html
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...

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 ?Vincent _______________________________________________ User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) http://udig.refractions.net http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel_______________________________________________ User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) http://udig.refractions.net http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel
