Since Eclipse <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.18/platform.php#terminate-descendants" target="_blank">4.18</a> child-processes (descendants) of an operating-system process launched from Eclipse are terminated too,
when the launched process is terminated (for example by clicking the terminate button).
<p>
It is now possible to configure in the Launch-Configuration if the child-processes of a launched process should be terminated too or if they should stay alive, in case the launched processes is terminated.
You can control this with the check-box <b>Terminate child-processes if terminating the launched process</b> in the <b>Common</b> tab of the <b>Run/Debug Configurations</b> dialog.
By default this check-box is selected and child-processes are termianted too.
