System.exit

["Mark Phippard" <MarkP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there anyway to "exit" from a Java program in such a way that it would
cause the RUNJVA command to issue a *ESCAPE message?

I want to run a Java class from a CL program using RUNJVA and I want the
Java program to be able to indicate to the program if it fails.  The
easiest way to do this would be to just monitor for a message on the RUNJVA
command.

However, if the Java program ends with System.exit(-1) it does not cause
RUNJVA to fail.  It appears that RUNJVA only fails if it cannot load the
class.

I realize that I could use some of the toolbox classes to do something to
indicate that it failed, but that just complicates the deployment of the
class, and right now it is just using the standard Java classes.

Any help for how this might be done would be appreciated.

Thanks
