[p2-dev] java.lang.RuntimeException: Attempt to access stopped agent: or

[Thomas M Houser <tmhouser@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using the IProvisioningAgentProvider.createAgent()
and IProvisioningAgent.stop() APIs and I'm getting this exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Attempt
to access stopped agent: org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.core.ProvisioningAgent@65fa65fa

org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54)

The ProfilePreferences.save() method
schedules a job with the IProvisioningAgent instance that I created and
am stopping:

Thread [main] (Suspended (breakpoint

        MetadataRepositoryManager.createRepository(URI,

How can I safely stop an IProvisioningAgent
 instance when there is a scheduled job that will access it?  Is
this a bug?
