Description sky123 2009-10-09 04:54:10 UTC

Sometimes when deploying large applications Tomcat hangs on shutdown. The only way is to go to processes list (on
Windows) and kill tomcat process manually. It could be very boring during development process when you often need to do
"clean-redeploy" application which assumes tomcat restart. It will be very convenient to do force kill Tomcat process
from Netbeans.

Yes, it's important. since there is such function in Eclipse. I found there was a choice on the configuration of the Tomcat, i.e. force to stop. But it's only effective on linux. why?

I also think this feature will be useful.

Most probably it was already implemented in the past by NetBeans, at least this bug seems to say so:

Tomcat sometimes still refuses to shutdown cleanly for me even now so a hard kill switch would save a lot of time.
