Uninstalling Jira Plugin is unable to stop Plugin scheduled task

[dishant sikka]

Hi,

I have created a Atlassian Jira Plugin, which schedules a task at fixed rate using Java Timer/TimerTask.

Plugin is able to start or stop the task in a controlled manner.

There is a scenario :

• If the Plugin starts a task.
• Do not stop it in a controlled manner.
• Uninstall or Disable the plugin.

In this scenario, the task is still running in the background.

I have to shut down SDK to stop this task.

It looks like, SDK is caching java files and have not killed the Java Process.

Please suggest, if there is any recommended method to clear this type of Java Process or stop this task, while uninstalling the Plugin.

Please note that SDK is installed locally, so I am running this on localhost.

Regards

Hi,

Usually the destroy method is implemented from DisposableBean to unschedule the job.
