Description kalle1 2013-06-12 19:26:24 UTC 
Hi together,
I'd like to suggest a second possibility to terminate processes (instead of only terminating them with a kill signal). The idea behind is to provide a possibilty to execute shutdown hooks. Instead of argueing which one of signal kill and term is better (see #22641) I suggest to provide both.
Thanks in advance for taking care about this.

The idea is e.g. to provide two cancel buttons for run and test processes. I don't know how NetBeans handles this internally and it doesn't matter. The important behind the idea is that next to the existing cancel button (which kills the process no questions asked) one button (or context menu entry or another GUI element) should exist to cancel the process in a way that shutdown hooks are called in order to simulate a System.exit or a term signal which one would send if the program was running into the console.
