node-java finishing the program

[Baubak G.]

Hi there,

I am just discovering node-java, and I like it a lot. Thanks for this library.

I was unable to find any mention of this problem:

When using the Hello World example, it seems that node-java does not finish by itself, and I need to actively interrupt the call.

example my node file "testHelloWorkJSCallingJava.js":

```

var java = require('java');

var javaLangSystem = java.import('java.lang.System');

javaLangSystem.out.printlnSync('Hello World!');

````

When I execute it using node it wxorks fine, but it does not quit, and I have to press Ctrl+C to stop:

```

simpleJSToJava % node testHelloWorkJSCallingJava.js
Hello World!

```

Is there anything I am missing?

I ran into this issue as well.  I am not certain of the best approach.  But, what I have done is created a function to perform house-keeping that nulls out any objects I created then at the very end of my script I just call process.exit(0);

Hope this helps someone 

Thanks,

Mike

I actually wrote an alternative plugin that accesses Java differently. Although this solution was great, there were too many issues.

This way your Node version/cypress version relains the same, and no java objects are in your project, but you can still access them.

PS: sorry for mentioning this in this forum, but I had to move to another solution due to the different issues with python / node / java. The solution was great, and it helped me a lot.
