Re: [aspectj-users] pointcut on termination of java program

You can register to be called on VM shutdown:

  Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(..)

The VM closes all streams on shutdown anyway, but
an aspect might be useful to close the stream
when the application is shutdown, if the VM
stays up after the app completes.
