In 3.5 and prior versions we see a progress dialog only for saving the workspace. I assume that there are other operations being done at Eclipse shutdown. They could be shown similarly as it is done at Eclipse start up in the splash screen. This dialog would allow to skip some operations which are not necessarily required to exit. We could use the dialog to show some information at the end, maybe to show "Good Bye" message ;-)
In bug #274260 comment #41 I said, > Note: I'd actually like to change the main progress message from "Saving > Workspace." (which shouldn't have a period) to "Exiting Workbench" since that's > what the command is in the File menu (Exit). But that would require a change > to org.eclipse.core.resources (in /utils/messages.properties key > resources_saving_0). With that change we could refine the messages introduced in bug #274260.
See also bug 274262 (this bug is less important if shutdown handlers are reasonably quick).
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
