It is necessary for us to finish database procedures correctly.


As others have said, relying on clean JVM shutdown and OSGi plugin shutdown is NOT a good strategy for that kind of thing. There is NO WAY to guarantee clean shutdown of ANY application.


The application and database need to be designed robustly so that transactions are completed as quickly as possible and don't require knowing when an application is closing. This is NOT an Eclipse-specific issue, it is a general robustness issue.
