Description Petr Blaha 2005-03-31 12:55:39 UTC 
[Build 20050330]
Steps:
1) start installer and installation
2) click Cancel button when the progress bar is in 13 %
3) confirm cancel

Installer doesn't stop installation and resumes in building the storage.

Need more investigation. It seems on Windows Java is not able to stop external
process which is batch running another java process. I will create some test
cases. The same scenario works fine on Linux. Process.destroy() is used. No
other API is available to stop external process.
Comment 2 mslama 2007-03-29 15:48:29 UTC 
Storage builder is not run for NB 6.0 Dev installer. If there will be similar
longer task during installer this will appear again. There should be support for
it directly in task code.
Comment 3 mslama 2007-03-29 15:50:18 UTC 
In addition storage builder was run in the same JVM as installer so there is no
problem with stopping external process. In any case task itself must provide
some way how to cancel it cleanly.
