    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6916?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12467480#action_12467480 ] 

Dimitris Andreadis commented on JBAS-6916:
------------------------------------------

Just be careful with that in the AS context. At some point I was looking at why a JVM halt was necessary at shutdown time. In the AS environment some non-daemon threads might not allow the server to stop.

> Legacy implementation of bootstrap would manually exit the VM upon server shutdown as a default.  With the new bootstrap implmentation, VM-specific stuff is left out of scope.
> Because non-daemon Threads are left running in the VM after server shutdown, the VM does not cleanly exit without some help.  Therefore JMXKernel.shutdown has a Runtime.exit() directly in it.
> This block in the JMXKernel must be removed after server shutdown leaves no non-daemon Threads running.
