The issue is the jcef_helper.exe process still holding file handles to JCEF libraries when my local java swing client exits, so swing client's relaunch fails when trying to re‑extract build.
I have tried to dispose (browser.close(Boolean.TRUE); and dispose(); ) when closing the browser window and also added delays and below code to properly exit the jcef.
public static void shutdown() {
try {
// Step 1: Close ALL browsers first
if (client != null) {
try {
List<CefBrowser> browsers = allBrowsers;
for (CefBrowser browser : browsers) {
if (browser != null) {
browser.close(true);
}
}
allBrowsers.clear();
}catch(Exception e) {
log.error(e,e);
}
}
// Step 2: Dispose client(s)
if (client != null) {
client.dispose();
client = null;
}
// Step 3: Dispose CefApp (once per JVM lifetime)
if (cefApp != null) {
cefApp.dispose();
cefApp = null;
}
// Step 4: Wait briefly for helpers to exit (optional but reliable)
try {
Thread.sleep(1000); // 1 second;
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
}catch(Exception e) {
log.error(e,e);
}
}
but still jcef helper exe is not exiting on application exit. so am i missing here anything to properly exit the jcef?
To Reproduce
Normally the issue is not always reproducible but it is observed that the issue mostly occurs in multi user windows system, where multiple users are using the same machine and launching the jcef browser using above java swing client application.
Expected behavior
Ideally it should release and kill all the jcef processes on exiting the parent swing application.
