Description copied from class: AbstractUIPlugin

The AbstractUIPlugin implementation of this Plugin method saves this plug-in's preference and dialog stores and shuts down its image registry (if they are in use). Subclasses may extend this method, but must send super last. A try-finally statement should be used where necessary to ensure that super.stop() is always done. Stops this plug-in.

This method should be re-implemented in subclasses that need to do something when the plug-in is shut down. Implementors should call the inherited method as late as possible to ensure that any system requirements can be met.

Plug-in shutdown code should be robust. In particular, this method should always make an effort to shut down the plug-in. Furthermore, the code should not assume that the plug-in was started successfully.

Note 1: If a plug-in has been automatically started, this method will be automatically invoked by the platform when the platform is shut down.

Note 2: This method is intended to perform simple termination of the plug-in environment. The platform may terminate invocations that do not complete in a timely fashion.

Note 3: The supplied bundle context represents the plug-in to the OSGi framework. For security reasons, it is strongly recommended that this object should not be divulged.

Note 4: This method and the Plugin.start(BundleContext) may be called from separate threads, but the OSGi framework ensures that both methods will not be called simultaneously.

Clients must never explicitly call this method.

Specified by:

stop in interface BundleActivator

Overrides:

stop in class AbstractUIPlugin

Parameters:

context - the bundle context for this plug-in

Throws:

Exception - if this method fails to shut down this plug-in
