I'm new to eclipse plugin development & I'm trying to implement a debugger plugin (a different one from the default java debugger for some research purpose) for java apps. In the process I need to know when a java appliction launched through the launcher, completes it's execution to do some post execution tasks. How does eclipse get to know an application launched by it has finished it's execution ? or is it possible get notified of such scenario ? But I'm prety much sure there should be a listner or something which get notified once an appliction launched by an eclipse laucher complets its execution.
