Re: [sisu-dev] when is Disposable.dipose() supposed to be called?

["Sievers, Jan" <jan.sievers@xxxxxxx>]

OK. Since I am using plexus in maven, should maven take care of disposing the container e.g. when the maven session ends?

Somehow I don't feel like this is something I should handle myself...

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Disposables are only called when the Plexus container is itself disposed or when someone explicitly calls the container to release the component (or the map/list containing the component).

If it is not getting called then that suggests no-one is disposing of the container. (Sisu-)Plexus will only act on container.dispose() - it doesn't install any shutdown hooks itself or use any form of GC/finalization to track when a component is no longer alive.
