The shutdown key is not executed when the application is launched using javaw.exe

Question

If I use javaw.exe to start a Java application, the stop hook is not executed when users log out of their Windows account. The application actually starts using the start4j .exe file created, but I know that javaw.exe uses it to run it.

This seems to be a known bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4302814

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

Thank!
