Description _ tboudreau 2002-12-13 14:32:26 UTC 
NetBeans takes a while to shut down, saving
settings and so forth.
A few users have complained (this was also a
complaint of Compaq
when I visted them) that the process appears to
run on for some
time after the UI disappears.

Eclipse solves this with a "shutdown splash
screen" with a progress
bar.  I think it would be the right thing for us
to, so the user
knows something is happening.

Comment 4 David Simonek 2005-05-04 12:25:54 UTC 
Fixed, we have now shutdown splash screen. But IMO right solution is to have
fast exit and not these silly embarassing shutdown thing. anyway...
